COURSE REQUIREMENTS

 Attendance
 Project/assignment/Plates
 Major Examination
 Written and Oral Examination
 Quizzes/Seat works

COURSE POLICIES

 Attendance is necessary for each student to obtain maximum benefits for instruction.
Eighty percent (80%) of the total required hours must be attended for each semester.
 None wearing of complete uniform is considered no attendance credit and will not be
allowed to take examinations or tests/ quizzes.
 There will be three or four long exams given during the semester. Make-up exams will
be given for missed exams at the discretion of the instructor and only for excused absences
(university approved absences).
 Major exams (Mid-term and Final) will be given at the time prepared by the College.
All students must take the major exams.
 Projects and assignments must be submitted on time. Late submission will not be
accepted, it must be turned in at the beginning of class. Projects and assignments must be in
acceptable engineering form including a problem statement, labeled drawings of the system
considered and all equations and units must be shown or the problem will not be graded.
 Quizzes will be given on a random basis, sometimes announced ahead of time and
others will be unannounced. Make-up quizzes will be given only for excused absences.
 Special examination is only given for excused absences. Excuse letter duly signed by the
parents or guardian or a medical certificate (in case of sickness) is required.

COURSE GRADING SYSTEM

Grading will be as follows:
Major exam (MTE & FTE) - 40%
Class Standing - 60%
Short Quizzes 20%
Seat works 15%
Project 10%
Assignments 10%
Attendance 5%
TOTAL 100%

Methods of Computation
Absolute zero shall be used in all examination and quizzes.

Percentile shall be used in recording grades when evaluating students using the formula

Midterm Grade+ Fina Term Grade

True Final Grade=
2

Grades Equivalents
Rating Grade
96 - 100 1.00
91 - 95 1.25
86 - 90 1.50
81 - 85 1.75
76 - 80 2.00
71 - 75 2.25
66 - 70 2.50
61 - 65 2.75
60 3.00
Conditional 4.00
Below 60 5.00

Conditional is not a grade. It is given to students that lacks necessary requirements and
therefore, must be accomplished before the end of that semester to obtain a grade.
