COURSE EVALUATION
Grading system
• JMCFI implements the 40-based grading system.
• There are three (3) grading periods in a semester namely; PRELIM, MIDTERM, and FINAL.
• The corresponding weights of the components of the grade in each grading period include:
Component Weight

Teaching-Learning Activities 40%

(TLA)
• class engagement,
• oral discussion,
• written works,
• performance tasks,
• quiz,
• exercise tests
• other classroom activities

Assessment Tasks (AT) 20%

• Work project,
• Term paper,
• Major performance
• Other major task

Examination
40%

● Each student is expected to be familiar with the computation of ratings. Computations of ratings shall observe the following formula:

Raw score x 60 + 40 = Rating

Total points

● Example: In TLA, in performance task 1, the raw score obtained by the student is 18 out of 20 total points. The rating for the performance will be
computed as follows:

18 x 60 + 40 = 0.94 or 94%
20
Course Code: GE5 Course Description: The Contemporary World Revision No. 3 2024
 In AT, in a term paper, the raw score obtained is 35 out of 50 total points;

35 x 60 + 40 = 0.82 or 82%
50

In the examination, the raw score obtained is 45 out of 60 total points;

45 x 60 + 40 = 0.85 or 85%
60

To compute the grade, apply the weight for each component

TLA (40%) AT (20%) Exam (40%) Grade

(0.94 * 0.4)*100 = (0.82 * 0.2)*100 = (0.85 * 0.4)*100 = 88

37.6 16.4 34

● The FINAL GRADE shall be the average of the grades in the Prelim, Midterm, and Final grading periods.

 CLASSROOM POLICIES
(All the provisions of the college shall apply.)

1. An online classroom is still a classroom.

2. Success in this course is dependent on the students’ active participation and engagement throughout the course. As such, students are required to
complete all deliverables and actively participate in online class discussions. If a student is unable to attend, participate in, or complete an assignment on
time, it is the student’s responsibility to inform the instructor.
3. Attendance: Students are expected to log on at least twice a week on different days in order to complete assignments, assessments and other weekly
deliverables as directed by the instructor and outlined in the syllabus.
4. Academic Honesty: Plagiarism and Violating the Rules of an Assignment: The program expects that students abide by the highest standards of
intellectual honesty in all academic work. Furthermore, the program assumes that all students do their own work and credit all work or thought by others.
5. Avoid using acronyms such as LOL (laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later) since not all users are as familiar with these abbreviations. Spell things
out to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

6. Courtesy goes a long way in any setting, including online school classrooms. Online courtesy would
mean: Students should use their real names.
Know how to raise “virtual hands” and wait to be recognized when responding to a question or comment.
Do not forget to say “please” and “thank you.”
Address the teacher and other virtual school students in a respectful manner, even when disagreeing.
Avoid using all uppercase letters; this is often considered the equivalent of shouting.
Cameras should always be turned on and make sure the microphone is turned off.

7. Before an online session begins, eliminate environmental distractions that may divert your attention away from the class. This includes: finding a
conducive and comfortable place in the house, minimizing background noise by turning off the TV and radio, turning off cell phones. (No multitasking
during class!)

8. It is important that virtual school students be prepared before class! They should download any necessary software and connect and test devices like
microphones or video cameras before the lesson begins. Students should also exit other applications on their computers prior to launching the classroom
software.

Course Code: GE5 Course Description: The Contemporary World Revision No. 3 2024
 Pay close attention on the classroom conversation and activities. You may take notes on the information presented and ask relevant questions to
clarify the material covered or assignments given. Do not join sideline chats with classmates when the teacher is speaking.

If you’re confused or stuck on an assignment, your first instinct may be to immediately ask a question. But before you ask, take the time to try to
figure it out on your own.

Adhere to the proper file format when submitting your online work.
