Prerequisite/s

Course After completing this course, the students should be able to:
Outcomes

analysis.
4. Use the voltmeter, ammeter and ohmmeter.
5. Familiarized themselves with the basic circuit elements such as
voltage source and resistors.

Course Classworks:
Requirements 1. Classworks (learning activities/summative tests/exams) are posted
through Google Classroom.
2. Classworks should be accomplished regardless if it is submitted
late or not for the sake of those with limited internet connection.
3. Classworks will be provided to students who do not have the means
to access online and shall likewise submit a hard copy of their
classworks.

Test/Quiz Policy:
1. At least two summative tests will be given for each period.
2. Make-up tests (midterm and final tests) may be given but there
will be no make-up summative tests.

The computation of Final grade is presented below:

Midterm Grade = 0.60 (Class Standing) + 0.40 (Midterm Test)
Class Standing = (Summative tests) + (Learning
Activities)
Final Term Grade = 0.60 (Class Standing) + 0.40 (Final Term Test)
Class Standing = (Summative tests) + (Learning
Activities)

Final Grade = 0.60 (Final Term Grade) + 0.40 (Midterm Grade)

Grading System Class Standing = 60%

Midterm/Final Exam = 40%

Classroom Virtual Classroom:

Policies 1. Soft copies of learning materials in the form of modules,
course guides, etc. will be provided to the students via
Google Classroom.
2. Printed copies will be provided to students who do not have
the means to access materials online.

Face to Face Classes:

1. Face to face classes may be scheduled at least once a month
with the approval of the College Dean.
2. Conduct of face to face meetings shall strictly adhere to the
minimum health standard protocols.
