 GRADING SYSTEM
PRELIM GRADE
PG = 0.5 CSP + 0.5 PE

CS (comprises Quizzes, Homework/Seatwork, other activities)

MIDTERM GRADE
MG = 1/3 PG + 2/3(0.5 CSM + 0.5 ME)

FINAL GRADE
FG = 1/3 MG + 2/3(0.5 CSF + 0.5 FE)

 GRADING SYSTEM
Unofficially Dropped (UDRP)
Attendance is NOT part of your grade however this will be used to
monitor whether a student will be dropped (maximum allowable
absences will be 20% of the allotted time for the course)

Note: Your lowest quiz grade will be dropped if we have more than 3
quizzes in every term.

If student misses a quiz (even though the student is excused),

NO SPECIAL QUIZ will be given. However, SPECIAL EXAM
will be given a week after the scheduled exam for those who
were reasonably absent during the scheduled exam.
