iii. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/

2. Assignments, Assessment, and Evaluation
(a) Assignments are also given to help students facilitate students in developing study habit in their homes. No late assignment
will be accepted.
(b) A seatwork would be given mostly after a topic has been discussed. There shall be no make-up quiz, seatwork or assignment
to be given.
(c) Long Quizzes shall be announced in the class. If a student is sick or have death in the immediate family during long quizzes
and major exams, the students will discuss the arrangements with the instructor for any make -up exam to be given. The
student must have written and valid proof to make up for a long quiz or exam. This should be done not later than one week
after his/her last absence. Failure to comply would mean a score of zero on the missed exam.
(d) Late projects will be given equivalent deduction per hour.
(e) Description in detail of grading processes and criteria (how many quizzes, tests, papers; weighting of each; amount of
homework, etc.) or the GRADING POLICY (Passing Percentage is 70 %)
Term Grade (University Grading System):

Class Standing (Seatwork, Assignments, Problem Sets) - 10 %
Chapter/Long Quiz - 40 %
Major (Term) Exams - 30 %
Performance/Innovative Task - 20 %
100 %
Final Grade = 1/2 (1st-half term grade) + 1/2 (2nd-half term grade)

Note: Drill Problems/ Seatworks/ Laboratory Reports/Attendance and Assignments (DSLA)
(g) Subject-to-change notice – TBA
(h) Date and time of Final Exam – TBA
3. Use of VLS in class
To distribute course materials, to communicate and collaborate online, to post grades, to submit assignments, and to give
you online quizzes and surveys.

Classroom code will be tkker4v for both Lecture and Laboratory.


Disclaimer:

Every attempt is made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the subject. However, circumstances and events make it necessary for the instructor to modify the
syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs, and experiences of the students.
