Missed
Exams
A student, who happens to be absent as the
activity is performed/presented and the reason of his/her absence is
considered to be valid as proven by evidence, will be given a chance to make
up for the activity missed depending on the schedule given by the teacher. If
the student fails to comply with the schedule, he/she will be given a failing
grade on that particular requirement. This applies to individual activity
only.
In case of a group activity/project and one
of the members happens to be absent as the activity is performed/the project
is presented, he/she will be given a chance to perform before the teacher but
he/she will not be graded in the same manner that the group was graded.
Deductions on certain criteria will be observed. Performance will depend upon
the schedule prescribed by the teacher. If the student fails to comply with
the schedule, he/she will be given a failing grade on that particular
requirement.
