Topic Report 40%
Midterm and Final Examinations 40%
Methods of Computation
Absolute zero shall be used in all examinations and quizzes.
Percentile shall be used in recording grades when evaluating students.

Grades Equivalents
Rating Grade
96 - 100 1.00
91 - 95 1.25
86 - 90 1.50
81 - 85 1.75
76 - 80 2.00
71 - 75 2.25
66 - 70 2.50
61 - 65 2.75
60 3.00
Conditional 4.00
Below 60 5.00
 Conditional is not a grade. It is given to students that lacks necessary requirements and therefore,
must be accomplished before the end of that semester to obtain a grade.
