a) At least two (2) midterm exams should have been performed for the exemption from the Semester-End Exam.
a) The student should have fulfilled the compulsory course attendance.
b) If the Laboratory and Practice Grade is 50 = or >, the students will take the Semester-End Exam; if it is 50 or <, they will be considered unsuccessful and will not take the Semester-End Exam. (The course will be repeated)
c) If the Practice and In-Semester Grade is = 80 or >, they will be EXEMPTED from the Semester-End Exam.
