2/3 class standing + 1/3 midterm exam

Computation for exemption: Postmidterm Class Standing same as Midterm Class standing Postmidterm grade = 2/3 postmidterm class standing + 1/3 prefinal exam Tentative Final Grade = midterm grade + postmidterm grade EXEMPTION: Tentative final grade of 90 (1.5) or higher. Hence the Tentative Final Grade will be considered the FINAL GRADE.

For students with a Tentative Finals Grade lower than 90 (1.5), Final grade will be computed as follows: Postmidterm Class Standing 60% 30% 10% = Long exams (70% long quizzes + 30% prefinal exam) = Lab practical = Short quizzes & assignments

Postmidterm Grade = 2/3 postmidterm class standing + 1/3 final exams Final Grade = 2/3 postmidterm grade + 1/3 midterm grade
