1. GRADING SYSTEMS
Rationale: Best Link aims and commits to enhance the quality of graduates with basic/advance and technical skills with a passion for excellence. The grading system is a critical component of this objective as it provides a mechanism for assessing quality performance of both students and instructors; student’s performance as a test of his absorptive capability on the one hand and faculty performance as a test of his knowledge and pedagogical skill on the other.
The quality point index (QPI) must adhere to the following criteria:
Uniformity – enhances easy implementation and diminishes variability of practice.
Coherence – provides logical explanation for grades obtained by students.
Fairness – provides justice and equity of grades deserved by students.
Objectivity – depends of verifiable, objective measurement data and not mainly from the faculty’s personal value judgement.
- The Final Subject Grade is obtained from the following periodical grades:
| 25% | - Preliminary Grade |
| 25% | - Midterm Grade |
| 25% | - Pre-final Grade |
| 25% | - Final Grade |
- The Periodical Grade is obtain from the following components:
| 15% | - Class Participation |
| 15% | - Quizzes |
| 35% | - Laboratory activities/seatwork/grp.work |
| 35% | - Periodical Exams |
- The numerical and non-numerical grading systems is adopted with the following remarks:
| QPI | Numerical Equivalent | Description |
| 1.00 | 98 – 100% | Outstanding |
| 1.25 | 95 – 99% | Excellent |
| 1.50 | 90 – 94% | Remarkable |
| 1.75 | 85 – 89% | Very Good |
| 2.00 | 80 – 84% | Good |
| 2.25 | 75 – 79% | Average |
| 2.50 | 70 – 74% | Satisfactory |
| 2.75 | 65 – 69% | Fair |
| 3.00 | 60 – 64% | Passed |
| 4.00 | 55 – 59% | Conditioned |
| 5.00 | < 55% | Failed |
Incomplete grades incurred in a particular term should be completed within a period of one academic year from the time it is incurred. Failure to complete the requirement/s within that period will replace the incomplete grades automatically be a falling grade of 5.0.
