The module grade average will be the weighted average of the module grades based on the credit units
of each module:
no of modules
∑ ( credit unit )i ( module grade )i
i=1
Module Grade Average=
total credit units of the course
The course grade will be determined from the module grade average using the table below:
a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hrs for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing
c. Written Examination
There will be 1 written examinations covering the four intended COs. Students will be given
three (3) chances to take the exam (but with different point credit) and the highest score will be
considered. At the end of each take the solutions to the problems will be discussed. In the first
take a 100% equivalent score will be credited; 80% on the second take; and only 70% on the
third and last take. After each take, the grade of the students will be calculated and once they
are satisfied with their grade they have the option to not to take the other scheduled exam.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected guided learning outputs and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the
end of the term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, highest).
Guided learning outputs and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be
photocopied and must be given back to the instructor for course portfolio keeping.
e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may
receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.
It is the student’s responsibility to refrain from infractions of academic integrity, from conduct that
may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and from conduct that aids others in such infractions.
Any of the following sanctions may be imposed to any student who is found guilty of committing
online academic dishonesty:
a. Failed mark in the course.
b. Suspension for a period of less than one term, with or without community service.
c. Suspension for a period of one term or more, with or without community service.
d. Non-readmission to the University.
e. Dismissal from the University.
f. Expulsion.
All students who will violate the Academic Integrity Policy of the university will be given zero
mark for the exam or for the activity, and will be given a failing grade for the course. He or she
will also be referred to the Prefect of Discipline for appropriate sanction.
h. Consultation Schedule

School’s web-page ( http://_____). It is recommended that the student first set an appointment
to confirm the instructor’s availability.
i. Appeal system

after the return of the assessed student work.
