be announced by your instructor.
Grading
System
Lecture: Midterm Grade = [PE + ME + (Chap Exams,
Quizzes, Assignments, etc.)]/3
Final Period Grade = [PFE + FE + (Chap Exams, Quizzes, Assignments, etc.)]/3
FINAL
GRADE = 1/3 Midterm grade + 2/3 Final period grade
Examinations:
There are four major exams (Prelim, Midterm, Prefinal,
and Final).
Quizzes and
Assignments:
Quizzes will be given depending on the need and will be
usually announced. Questions for quizzes are usually exercise questions to practice the concepts learned. They may be held
before or after the lecture or activity, so students are held responsible to study and be prepared.
Assignments or homework/problem sets are usually given with the intention of encouraging self-study
among students, not just to review their lecture notes but also to pursue some skills development not readily acquired during
class hours, e.g. doing stoichiometric calculations or balancing chemical equations. Assignments are usually taken from the
textbook, so students are obliged to have their own copy by purchase or rental. Some assignments will be discussed during
review or problem-solving sessions.
Web-based Materials:
In addition to lecture notes and textbook, the following
are available via the web: problem sets, basic skill tutorials, sample exams, simulations. These can be found the website
specified by the textbook authors (see above) and other webpage addresses that will be given by the instructor. Clarifications
and short tutorial-consultations may be called to the instructor’s attention thru email (address given above) provided
that the student will give his/her complete identification.
Other Activities
Depending on the availability of facilities, some class
periods may be spent in the AVR for other instructional modes like video-showing or PowerPoint presentations or multi-media
activities.
Class Decorum
Students are expected to be present in all class periods. Allowed number of absences will be accounted according to
school policy for the current semester. Tardiness is not also tolerated. Taking of lecture notes is an integrated function
of every student as well as studying and participating in class.
