that which is made up of grades received in (a) class recitations and (b) class quizzes during the semester and (c) that obtained in the final examination. This is true for any subject and for every department; thus, in every lecture-period the instructor assings lessons for the next period. The student prepares the lesson and recites it in the next lecture-period. He is assigned a grade for that particular day's work which depends upon the quality of his recitation. Thus, for every period of class room work the student gets a grade. Again occasional quizzes (examinations) are held during a semester to test the progress of the students and for each of these quizzes the student gets a grade. Thus, the final result of a student (which is determined as has been said before, by semester grades) does not entirely depend upon final or semester examination but upon the progress of the student from day to day. In fact, the final examination counts for only one-third of the final grade and the other two, Recitations and Quizzes, for the remaining two-thirds. Thus a student, who works conscientiously during the semester and keeps a good grade, is allowed to pass even if his grade drops off below the passing mark in the final.
The full grade for any one subject is 100 and passing grade is 7o, i. e., a student must be 70% efficient to pass in a course. If the final grade of a student is below 70 he fails in that subject, and has to repeat that one subject
