Grading System
Class Standing (Qu Esquisses, Research Papers & Minor Oral Defenses) – 50%
Major Exams (Major Plates) – 50%
Total – 100%
Passing Raw Score (70%) – STUDIO Course
Computation of Prelim Computed Average (PCA)
CSA = MEA = P
PCA = (50%)(CSA) + (50%)(MEA)
Computation of Midterm Computed Average (MCA)
CSA =
MEA =
MCA = (50%)(CSA) + (50%)(MEA)
Computation of Final Computed Average (FCA)
CSA =
MEA =
FCA = (50%)(CSA) + (50%)(MEA)
