VI. COURSE REQUIREMENTS

GRADING SYSTEM

The students will be graded according to the following:

 Midterm Examination 20%
 Final Examination 20%
 Quizzes 20%
 Class Standing 25%
(Oral Presentation (15%) ,recitation (5%), seatwork (5%))
 Culminating Activity/ Project 15%

PASSING: 60% (ZERO BASED)

o The following table is used in assigning final grades:

Transmutation Table :
98 - 100 1.00
95 – 97 1.25
92 – 94 1.50
89 – 91 1.75
86 – 88 2.00
83 – 85 2.25
80 – 82 2.50
77 – 79 2.75
75 – 76 3.00
Below 75 5.00
o To be able to use the transmutation table above, the following is the computation from the zero-
based grade:

(Zero-based grade x 0.625) + 37.5 = Final grade

Class Standing Requirements:

  Seatwork are usually given after the discussions/lecture.
 Recitation: During class participation, student is graded individually. Some questions will be
asked during or after the discussions.
 Students will be graded individually in the group oral presentation using the rubric below:

Culminating Activity/Project:

 It is a group effort and the project to be presented at the end of the semester.
