Grading System
Major Exam 40%
• Major output corresponding to the terminal course outcome
Class Standing 60%
• Graded modular/online activities and outputs corresponding to
the enabling course outcomes.
Policies:

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, remote learning instead of residential (face-to-face) learning shall be conducted until further advisories from
CHED and the government.
• Remote learning can either involve online learning and other flexible independent learning activities like modules, learning packets,
projects, and other forms of independent study.
• Online learning may be synchronous (for students with digital connectivity) using Google Classroom and Google Meet, Zoom,
Facebook Messenger and video apps such as Youtube and FB Lives; or asynchronous (used for students with lack of online
connectivity) with the teacher sending lectures and assignments via e-mails or text messages.
• Student participation in online lectures will not be required.
• Students who cannot join these session will be given copies of the presentation.
• Long and short quizzes will still be given online or other flexible means.
• These quizzes will be made available in a certain timeframe until all the students are able to comply.
• Midterm and final examinations will be delivered via flexible means.
• The timeframe of the availability of the major examinations will be made flexible to adjust to the challenges encountered by students
with limited connectivity. For students with no internet connection, an arrangement will be made by the instructor to deliver an
alternative requirement in lieu of the major examinations.
• Major outputs will be submitted online or via courier, and academic integrity of all outputs shall be observed.
• All other activities shall be posted in a learning platform recommended by the university.
• Deadlines for the submission of outputs shall not be rigid and strict due to the nature of internet connectivity in other localities where
students reside.
• Consultation hours will be done via flexible modalities.
