Explain of evaluation system

  1. About 35% of students: A
  2. About 45% of students: B
  3. About 20% of students: C and below

* If your total score does not exceed 20%, you will get an "F" regardless of the percentage above
* If you are absent more than five (5) times, you will get an "F"
* If you are late twice, you are considered absent once
