VI. GRADING SYSTEM

 Prelim/Midterm/Finals Grade Calculation

Lecture:
Attendance: 10%
Quiz/Assignment: 30%
Participation: 10%
Examination: 50%
100%

* As per the institution guide, the grade for prelim/midterm/finals are

calculated using the base-50 grading system:

Grade
Prelim/Midterm/Finals Grade = +50=100 %
2

 Final Grade Calculation:

Prelim Grade+ Midterm Grade+ Finals Grade

=100 %
