Final Examination

Grading system Final Grade is computed as follows:

FG = (PG + MG + TFG)/3
where:
 FG refers to the Final Grade
 PG refers to the Prelim Grade
 MG refers to the Midterm Grade
 TFG refers to the Tentative Final Grade

The Prelim Grade is computed as (1st CS) + (Prelim Exam)

The Midterm Grade is computed as (2nd CS) + (Midterm Exam)
The Tentative Grade is computed as (3rd CS) + (Final Exam)
 CS refers to Class Standing which is 60% composed of Quizzes (20%)+ Recitation (20%) + Term Paper (20%)
 Recitation includes participation in discussion prompts for online classes and discussion activities for offline classes.
 Major Exams = 40%

Course policies and

standards All students are expected to be academically honest. Cheating, lying, and other forms of unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student found guilty of
cheating in examinations or plagiarism in submitted course requirements will receive an F or failure in the course requirement or in the course. Cheating refers to
securing help in a test; copying test, assignments, reports or term papers; collaborating with other students during an examination or in preparing academic work that
has not been designated as collaborative activity; signing another student’s name on an attendance sheet; or otherwise practicing scholastic dishonesty.

POLICY ON ATTENDANCE
1. In view of the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on the educational landscape, the university is modifying its policy on attendance for this
semester.
2. Every student is required to attend his classes for every week of the course.
3. For online-based mode of learning, the student attendance shall be monitored based on learner’s participation in an interactive online study group or discussion
prompt, student’s submission of outputs (assignments, activities, exams and quizzes), or a documentation showing that the student initiated contact with a
faculty member to ask a question about an academic subject related to the course.
4. For correspondence-based mode of learning, the student attendance shall be monitored based on learner’s accomplishment of outputs (assignments, activities,
exams and quizzes), or a documentation showing that the student initiated contact with a faculty member to ask a question about an academic subject related to
