ASSESSMENT TASK WEIGHT CLOs

Attendance 10%
The students are expected to attend their classes.
 Class Participation 20%
Throughout the semester, students are expected to have an active involvement
in class. Students must be sure to study the required readings assigned for each
week or set of weeks because class participation will be assessed in terms of
how students thoroughly understood, convincingly applied, and intelligently
made sense of the insights, ideas, and concepts discussed by the different
authors. This will also include the activities to be done during the class or any
take-home activities.

Quizzes 30%
Quizzes are short term assessment given to students covering the topics
discussed as of the schedule of the assessment. A minimum of three (3) quizzes
and a maximum of four (4) are given every term. This will result to a total of
six (6) to eight (8) quizzes in a semester

II. UI and Graphics
App correctly handles rapid transitions between display orientations without rendering
problems. App displays graphics, text, images, and other UI elements without
noticeable distortion, blurring, or pixelation.
III. Compatibility,Performance and Stability
App does not crash, force close, freeze, or otherwise function abnormally on any targeted device
App uses the whole screen in both orientations and does not letterbox to account for orientation
changes.
IV. App Components
App does not dynamically load code from outside the app's APK. Only application components
that share data with other apps, or components that should be invoked by other apps, are
exported
