 RATING SYSTEM

Numerical Descriptive Evaluation

Evaluation
5 Excellent (E): Full compliance to the criterion with substantial
number of good practices serving as model for others
4 Very Good (VG): Full compliance to the criterion which
demonstrates good practices
3 Good (G): Compliance to the criterion
2 Fair (F): Minimal compliance to the criterion needing
improvement
1 Poor(P): Very minimal compliance to the criterion needing much
improvement to overcome weaknesses
0 No Provision (NP): Missing but must be included

RATING SYSTEM

The rating system is based on a numerical evaluation of 0-5 points with 5 points
as the highest rating, 1 is the lowest rating and 0 if there is no provision/ none existence
of the specified item/s in the institution/ program being evaluated.

Apart from numerical evaluation there are also descriptive evaluation that
indicates the provision, conditions or characteristics found in good colleges/programs.
Not all of them, however, may be specifically necessary, or even applicable in every
college. While a college may lack some of the items listed, it may have other
compensating features. The descriptive evaluation is intended to provide the factual
bases for a fair evaluation of the different aspects of the school’s instructional program.
This survey instrument makes use of a Likert scale for facility of understanding and
administration.

The computation of ratings in every area are as follows; the accreditor will give a
rating ranging from 0-5 in every item/ criteria/standard. The ratings at each
item/criteria/standards under Input, Process and Outcome are totaled. The sum is
divided by the number of items summed up in order to get the Inputs Mean, Process
Mean and Outcome Mean. The Inputs Mean is multiplied by 20%, the Process Mean is
multiplied by 30% and the Outcomes Mean is multiplied by 50%. The sum total of all the
product of the Inputs Mean, Process Mean and Outcomes Mean is the final rating in a
sub-area. The total of all the Sub-area ratings divided by the number of Sub-areas is the
Area Final Rating.
