Course Description This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of
mathematical tools in daily life. The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (in
nature and the environment) and as an application of inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring these topics, students are
encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in patterns
of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of science1) governed by logic and reasoning. The course then proceeds to
survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing with various aspects of present-day living, such as
managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data transmission
and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad
range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students’ understanding and
capacity.

Grading System
Grades are determined by computing a student’s performance over the term for both lecture and laboratory. A failing grade may be given to a student who
does not meet attendance requirements.

The school adopts the following grading system with the corresponding equivalence
GRADE EQUIVALENCE DESCRIPTION
1.00 98-100% Excellent
1.25 95-97% Very Good
1.50 92-94%
1.75 89-91%
2.00 86-88% Satisfactory
2.25 83-85%
2.50 80-82%
2.75 77-79% Fair
3.00 75-76%
5.00 Below 75% Failed due to poor performance, absences or withdrawal
without notice
DRP Officially Dropped Dropped with approved dropping slip
P Passed To be used only for courses specified as having non-numeric
F Failed grades.

The course grade is based on the percentage distribution for each periodical grade to be expressed in percentage from rounded to the nearest unit.

For CHED and TESDA courses, which are semestral-based, the percentage distribution is as follows:

PRELIMS 20 % Example 2.25

MIDTERMS 20 % 1.25
PRE-FINALS 20 % 2.00
FINALS 40 % 1.00
Course Grade is 1.50
For other TESDA courses offered in modular forms, the percentage grade distribution within a block is as prescribed in the syllabus.

In courses with a combination of lecturer and laboratory, the course grade is based on the proportion of lecture to laboratory units. Hence, the course
grade for a three (3) unit course with two (2) units of lecture and one (1) unit of laboratory shall be of ratio of 2:1, lecture: laboratory, and rounded off to
the nearest numeric grade.

Example: Final lecture grade is 1.50

Final laboratory grade is 1.75
Course grade is 1.58

PERIODICAL GRADE

Recommended periodical grade components for:

Lecture Units Laboratory Units

Class Participation 10% Laboratory Exercises 10%
Exercise and Seatwork 20% Case Studies and Projects 90%
Quizzes 30%
Periodical Examination 40%

Deviation from the recommended components may be decided or approved by the Dean upon the recommendation of the Department Chairman/Program
Coordinator and faculty to suit the program objectives and requirements.
