GRADING SYSTEM:

PART I PART II

Course Output (Laboratory Exam/Plates,

30% Quizzes and Long Test 30%
Activities)
Major Exam (Written or Performed/
Recitation/ Participation 15% 25%
Practical Exam)

Final Grade, FG = Midterm (50 %) + Final (50 %)

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
Laboratory written report, Survey Notebook, Fieldwork, Fields Survey Observation (NIA/DPWH/Private Practitioner/Contractor/Geodetic Engineer)

COURSE POLICIES:

1. Student Attendance. According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than 20% of the total number of meetings or 20 hrs for this four-unit
course. Student incurring more than 20 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class standing.

Allowable load for the following semester is less 3 units from the regular load.
Term 3. Third year to Fourth year. Probation is given to a student who obtains final grades of below 3.0 in 50% - 75% of the total number of academic units during the semester. Allowable
load for the following semester is 15 units for the following semester provided that this does not apply to students who receive grade in less than 6 academic units. A student who has
received to successive warnings shall be placed on probation status. Probation status may be lifted upon passing all the subjects carried during the term that he is on probation.
Term 4. First year to Fourth year. Permanent Disqualification is given to a student who obtain final grades below 3.0 in all of the academic units enrolled during the semester. Permanent
