Week 18 FINAL EXAM

GRADING SYSTEM:

The student’s grade is composed of:

Lecture
a. Class Standing (CS) which includes quizzes, assignments, recitations, laboratory exercises, seat works and requirements.
b. Periodical examinations (PE) refer to Preliminary, Midterm or Final Examination.
The Prelim Grade (PG) is computed as:
PG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
The Midterm Grade (MG) is computed as:
MG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
Cumulative MG = 2/3 of MG and 1/3 of PG
The Final Grade (FG) is computed as:
FG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
Cumulative FG = 2/3 of FG + 1/3 of MG
Laboratory
a. Class Standing (CS) Laboratory Experiment
b. Periodical examinations (PE) refer to Preliminary, Midterm or Final Examination.
The Prelim Grade (PG) is computed as:
PG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
The Midterm Grade (MG) is computed as:
MG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
Page 8 of 10
 Cumulative MG = 2/3 of MG and 1/3 of PG
The Final Grade (FG) is computed as:
FG = 2/3 of CS + 1/3 of PE
Cumulative FG = 2/3 of FG + 1/3 of MG
Consolidated Grade Lecture and Laboratory

Consolidated Grade= Final Grade in Lecture(3/4)+Final Grade in Laboratory (1/4)

The percentage equivalent of Periodical Examination and the different components of the CS is computed as:
% = (Raw Score/No. of Items) * 50 + 50
Passing Mark is 75% and above.
Failing Mark is below 75%.
Incomplete Mark will be given to students on the ff. instances:
1. The student failed to take the final examinations.
2. The student failed to submit major course requirements.

FDA (Failure due to absences) Mark will be given to students who have incurred a significant number of absences. Please refer to the University of La
Salette, Inc. Student Handbook Section 3.3.4-6.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Submission of activities and accomplish readings.

2. Passed all Examination (major exam and quizzes).

CONSULTATION HOURS:
Tuesday and Thursday 3:00 – 4:30 pm
