Assessment Methods
- Final Grade = 75% x ((Mid-Term Exam (35%) + Final Exam (35%) + Presentation Assignment (20%) + Average of Individual Assignments and Quizzes (10%)) + 25% x Practicum Grade GRADE INDEX: 75 ≥ A; 75 < AB ≤ 68; 68 < B ≤ 60; 60 < BC ≤ 55; 55 < C ≤ 50; 50 < D ≤ 45; 45 < E Practicum Assessment: Final Grade = Daily Practicum Grade (60%) + Practicum Exam Grade (40%). Daily Practicum Grade = Journal and Preliminary Assignments (15%) + Initial Test (15%) + Work (35%) + Report (35%) Practicum Exam Grade = Practical Exam Grade (50%) + Written Exam Grade (50%) Passing the practicum is determined by at least 80% attendance and a minimum total practicum grade of 55.
