Grading System
Formula used for computation of grades

Prelim : (CS x 2 + PE) / 3 = Prelim Grade (PE)

Where PE is Prelim Examination

Midterm : (CS x 2 + ME) / 3 = Midterm Grade

Where ME is Midterm Examination

Finals : (CS x 2 + FE) / 3 = Tentative Final Grade (TFG)

Where FE is Final Examination

(TFG + MG + PG) / 3 = Final Grade (FG)
