IX. GRADING SYSTEM

The grading system used in the College of Teacher Education is the absolute standard.
The 50% criterion reference will be adapted in this subject. The accumulated score is obtained based
from the weighted percentage set by the subject teacher. The cut-off point is obtained by multiplying
the accumulated points and the criterion reference. Scores greater than or equal to the cut-off scores
are passing while scores below the cut-off scores are failing. However, a conditional grade of 4.0 can
be given to students whose scores fall one step below the cut-off point.
