TOOLS FOR EVALUATION
1. Written Exams (Long and Short Quizzes, Summative and other Paper-pencil Tests): 25 %
Formative Tests
 These are assessments that are graded but not recorded. This means that the
scores are recorded in student’s academic record of the subject, but not included
in computing for his/her over-all grade. These tests served as reinforcements,
diagnostics, and aids for student’s learning.
 A corresponding demerit will be given if the student is unable to do such.
Summative Tests
 No makeup will be given for missed quizzes or activities unless with valid reason
(e.g. illness, power interruptions, etc.) provided with proof. If a written test is
missed, the test grade that will be recorded is zero.

2. Performance Tests: 45%

A. Reportorial
B. Project/Product/Process/ and any Authentic Assessment including Laboratory
Activities
 A rubric or criteria will be given for each project or performance tasks given by
the FIC.
 A 5-point demerit per day will be received if the student/s fail/s to submit on the
given time.

3. Quarterly Exams: 30%

 A pre-quarter exam will be given. Some of the items of the pre-quarter exams will be
covered on the major quarter exam.
 No makeup exam for unexcused absence. Missed exams will be considered zero and be
included in the computation of the final grade. Make-up exam will only be given to
students with VALID excuse.
