13. Course Evaluation

Student performance will be rated based on the following:

Module 1

Assessment Tasks Weight Minimum Average for

Satisfactory
Performance
Lab Reports 50% 70%
CO 1-7 Exam 50% 70%

Total 100% 70%

Module 2

Assessment Tasks Weight Minimum Average for

Satisfactory
Performance
Lab Reports 50% 70%
CO 8-12 Exam 50% 70%

Total 100% 70%

The module grades will correspond to the weighted average scores shown below:

Module Module
Average Average
Grade Grade
0 ABS
Below 70 but
IP 83.00 - 85.99 2.00
greater than 0
70.00 - 75.99 3.00 6.00 - 89.99 1.75
73.00 - 75.99 2.75 90.00 - 92.99 1.50
76.00 - 79.99 2.50 93.00 - 95.99 1.25
80.00 - 82.99 2.25 96.00 - 100.00 1.00

The grade of “5.00” is given to:

• A student whose performance is poor.
• A student who has stopped attending classes at any time without officially withdrawing his
courses through the Office of the Registrar.
• A student who has accumulated a number of absences equivalent to 20% of the prescribed
number of school days in one (1) quarter. After this number of absences has been recorded, a
module grade of 5.00 is given to all remaining modules regardless of class standing.
• A student who has not accomplished or submitted more than 50% of the course assessments
and requirements in a module.
• A student who violated the Academic Integrity policies of the university.

The grade of “5.00” for a course within the program of study shall disqualify a student from academic
scholarship and academic honors.

The module grade average will be the weighted average of the module grades based on the credit units
of each module:

𝑛𝑜.𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠
∑𝑖=1 (𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡)𝑖 (𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒)𝑖
𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 =
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒

The course grade will be determined from the module grade average using the table below:

Module Grade Average

Course Grade
(MGA)
1.0 ≤ MGA ≤1.10 1.0
1.10 < MGA ≤ 1.40 1.25
1.40 < MGA ≤ 1.60 1.5
1.60 < MGA ≤ 1.85 1.75
1.85 < MGA ≤ 2.10 2.0
2.10 < MGA ≤ 2.40 2.25

Academic Integrity Policy

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.

The following are considered academic dishonesty:

1. Using another MyMapua email address to login to any platform (such as BlackBoard and
Coursera) with or without permission.
2. Asking or hiring someone else to do their exams, homework, Coursera course, papers, projects
or other academic requirements.
3. Recording and saving copies of exam questions or answers, or answer keys for distribution.
4. Receiving copies of exam questions or answers, or answer keys to an exam from someone
who has already taken it.
5. Plagiarizing or the unethical act of stealing the thoughts of another without proper citation or
reference, acquiring information from the Internet without acknowledging the author, copying
from another student’s work without permission and submitting it as own work.
6. Massive, pre-meditated, organized online cheating using instant messaging/email during a quiz
or exam.
7. Any form of dishonesty in peer-reviewed assignments/submissions (e.g. Coursera peer-graded
submissions).
8. Engaging in any activities that will dishonestly improve results, or dishonestly improve or
damage the results of others.
9. Any other form of dishonesty or cheating in any assessment or course requirement.

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.
