students and the teachers. This comprises 30% of student’s grades. In the

campus, this evaluation is done in terms of:

a) Quizzes – relatively short test given periodically to measure

achievement in material recently taught or on any small, newly

completed unit of work. An example is a 5 to 10 minute test, or a ten-

item test.

b) Preliminary exam – a test that prepares students for subsequent

examinations of greater difficulty and importance. This is given at the

first quarter of the semester.

c) Pre-final exam – a test in between the Mid-term exam and final

examination usually during the third quarter of the semester in order to

obtain immediate feedback regarding students’ achievement and do

some remedial measures to help them.

2. Summative evaluation – This is a kind of evaluation conducted in the campus

twice a semester. The purpose of summative evaluation is the grading of

students at the end of a broad unit of work usually after each half-term of the

semester. There are two types of summative evaluation done in the campus:

a) Mid-term exam – an examination given at the middle of a semester to

measure students learning outcome, making up 20% of the student’s

grade.

b) Final exam – an examination given at the end of a course of study which

is equivalent to another 20% of the final grade.

3. Performance Evaluation – test employed by the teachers to measure student’s

proficiency level in a skill. It requires manual or other motor responses and is

being used in laboratory subjects and practicum.
