Course Assessment:

*Students are required individually to submit all the activities, assignment, quizzes, and major examinations face-to-face. They have to know and understand
everything written in the modules regarding the course content and to gain knowledge in answering the exercises. They will not simply copy paste rather understand and
gain skills on how to solve problems involving Transportation Engineering. In order to gain knowledge and ability to solve any integration problems, the student must
submit the course requirement needed.

As per standard grading system, thoroughly discussed during the orientation meeting.

Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds for a failing grade are:

1. Grave misconduct and/or cheating during examinations

2. Unexcused absences of more than 20% of required number of meetings per semester
3. A failing academic standing and failure to comply with the subject requirements
