GRADING SYSTEM

 Semestral Grade will be based on the summation of the grades in the three Laboratory (50%)
terms for a given semester; that is 30% prelim, 30% midterm, 40% final Laboratory Examinations 40%
term. Lab Activities 50%
Attendance 10%
 Grade for the said terms shall be calculated and weighted based on the
-------
following: 100%
50% Class Standing 30% Major Examination 20% Project
  Score from each categories mentioned above, shall be transmuted to
percentage rate and then converted to its college rating (1.00-5.00)
 The passing raw score shall be divided by total item and multiplied by 45
and added to 55, equivalent percentage rating shall be 75% that is
equivalent with the grade of 3.00.

CLASS POLICY
Attendance

Students are not allowed to have 20% or more absences of the total class hours; otherwise, they will be graded as follows:
Dropped (if majority of the excessive absences are excused)
Failed (if majority of the excessive absences are unexcused)
