COURSE POLICIES
Grading System
1. There are four exams – three long exams and one final exam. Each exam is
Grade(%)  90 1
multiple-choice type and has 45 items. Calculators are not allowed.
2. A student, who missed a long exam, should take the make-up exam 90 > Grade(%)  85 1.25
that will be given one week after the regular exam. A student can only be 85 > Grade(%)  80 1.5
excused for only (1) missed long exam. A valid excuse includes death in the
immediate family, or illness. The student should present a duly signed 80 > Grade(%)  75 1.75
excuse letter or a medical certificate (issued by the Infirmary) to his/her 75 > Grade(%)  70 2
teacher 3 days before the makeup exam. A student who missed an
exam without a valid excuse will automatically get zero for that exam. A 70 > Grade(%)  65 2.25
student who missed the makeup long exam (with or without a valid
65 > Grade(%)  60 2.5
excuse) will be given a grade of zero for that long exam.
60 > Grade(%)  55 2.75
B. 15% Recitation Quiz
55 > Grade(%)  50 3
1. Recitation quizzes are given during class hours every after the lecturer
has finished a chapter. 50 > Grade(%)  45 4
2. Recitation quizzes can be multiple-choice type or problem solving.
45 > Grade(%) 5
C. Attendance
1. If a student exceeds 12 unexcused absences in the class, he/she will be automatically given a grade of 5.0.
2. A student is advised to drop the class if the accumulated excused absences reached 12.

D. Grading System
1. INC grade - a student, who missed a long exam (regular and makeup exam) or final exam due to a valid reason,
will be given a grade of INC, only if his/her grade without the missed exam is 50% or above (out of 80%).
2. A grade of 4.0 can only be removed by taking a removal exam. Credit for the course, however, can be obtained
upon passing the course at re-enrollment. If the student does not re-enroll or take the removal exam within one
year from this semester, the grade of 4.0 will automatically become a grade of 5.0.
3. There is NO FORCED DROP. The lecturer will only give the student a grade of DRP upon receiving the processed
Dropping or Leave of Absence (LOA) form on or before the Deadline of Dropping.

1
 4. A student granted an LOA will only be given a grade of either DRP or 5.0. A grade of 5.0 is given if the LOA is
granted after ¾ of the semester has lapsed and the student's standing is failing; otherwise DRP is given.

E. Student conduct and discipline

1. Any form of cheating in examinations or any act of dishonesty in relation to his studies is subject to
disciplinary action. A student found guilty of cheating is penalized with suspension for not less than 1
year.
2. Observe courtesy during exams and class hours by turning off all electronic devices.
3. Any form of vandalism is strictly prohibited in the New NIP building. A student who is found guilty will be
subject to disciplinary action.
4. CCD TV cameras are setup at different places inside and outside the building that monitors and records any
untoward incident 24/7.
5. Students are encouraged to use the main entrance (facing the Institute of Chemistry) of the National Institute of
Physics. The research wing entrance (old entrance) will eventually be restricted to NIP Faculty and Staff.
