GRADING SYSTEM
A passing grade of 60% or D (letter grade); = (Raw Score/Perfect score) X 100
Students’ Grade: (LECTURE) 60%
 Based on Classroom Performance (40%) in terms of:
a. Quizzes (long/short): 60%
b. Assignments/Activities: 35%
c. Attendance/Class participation: 5%
 And Major Exams, which includes Prelim. Midterm, Semifinal, and Final Exams (60%)
Students’ Grade: (LABORATORY) 40%
 Based on Laboratory Performance (60%) in terms of:
- Quizzes (long/short): 20%
- Lab Demo: 40%
- Requirements/Activities : 30%
- Materials/equipment/Uniform: 10%
 And Major Practical/Return Demo Exams conducted on or before Prelim. Midterm, Semifinal, and Final
Exams (40%)
Students’ OVERALL Grade:
 Classroom/Laboratory Performance Overall Percentage (60%) + Major/Practical Exams Percentage (40%) =
100%
 LECTURE (60%) + LABORATORY (40%) = 100%
 Final Grade = (Prelim + Mid Term + Semi Final + Final)/4
