100%
Deportment
- A person’s behavior or manners.
- attendance
Rules in Attendance:
1. 15 minutes late will be considered as absent
2. A student is only allowed to be absent for a maximum of 20% of the total number of subject hours
Exceeding this allowable hours means dropping from the class and will be mark as “Dropped due to
Excessive Absences”.

Participation
- Refers to the behaviors that students engage themselves in class.

- This behavior can take many formats such as raising questions, responding to questions, participation
in discussion, seatwork and boardwork.
Plates
- An activity in the form of problem solving given by the instructor
- Homework and follows a certain format
- 2 plates per term

Quiz
- A test of knowledge, especially informal test given to students.
- 2 quizzes will be given per term and each quiz will be composed of a minimum of 12 items
and maximum of 20 items.
- Each quiz will have a duration of only 2 hours.

Examination
- A formal test of a student’s knowledge or proficiency, in a particular subject or skill.
- The minimum number of items for examination is 15 and the maximum is 25, to be taken for
a duration of 3 hours and 30 minutes.
- The type of examination may be objective, but most of the time it is problem-solving type of
questions.
