students’ knowledge and skills in a specific database profession and at the same time produce graduates who are
credible, creative and proficient. This course aims to provide a platform for the students apply their knowledge
learned in the university and boost their skills which needed by a profession. It is also intended for the students
to gain exposure in every aspect of real career life. The students will be evaluated based on two components; 1)
student performance evaluation by organization supervisor and 2) student performance evaluation by the faculty
supervisor. The organization supervisor is expected to assess the student performance based on work
performance and the student’s personality. The assessment by faculty supervisor more focusing on students’
generic skills

GRADE AND POINT VALUE SYSTEM
1.0 Grade Point Value System
Students’ achievement in any particular subject is reflected in the grade obtained. The relationship between
marks, grade and the point value is shown in the table below:
Marks Grade Point Value

80 – 89 A 4.00
75 – 79 A- 3.67
70 – 74 B+ 3.33
65 – 69 B 3.00
60 – 64 B- 2.67
55 – 59 C+ 2.33
50 – 54 C 2.00
45 – 49 C- 1.67
40 – 44 D+ 1.33
35 – 39 D 1.00
30 – 34 D- 0.67
00 – 29 E 0.00
2.0 Calculation of GPA, CPA and Academic Standing
The students’ academic standing is based on GPA (Grade Point Average) and CPA (Credit Point Average)
calculated based on their achievement in all registered courses in any particular semester. Each grade is
changed to point based on the formulation below:
Point = Course credit x Point value GPA (Grade Point Average) = Total Points Total credit for the particular semester CPA (Cumulative Point Average) = Total points as a whole Total credit as a whole
82
The students’ academic standing for any particular semester is measured based on GPA, while their standing
as a whole is based on CPA which also determines the status of standing, whether Good Standing (Kedudukan
Baik - KB), Probationary Standing (Kedudukan Bersyarat - KS) or Failure Standing (Kedudukan Gagal - KG) based
on the following guidelines:
3.0 Academic Standing
Academic Standing CPA
Good Standing
(Kedudukan Baik - KB) CPA > 2.00
Probationary Standing
(Kedudukan Bersyarat - KS) 1.70 < CPA < 2.00
Failure Standing
(Kedudukan Gagal - KG) CPA < 1.70
An example of academic standing is as follows (Cumulative Point Average)
Semester GPA CPA Academic Standing
I 3.82 3.82 Good Standing
(Kedudukan Baik - KB)
II 3.84 3.83 Good Standing
(Kedudukan Baik - KB)
Students obtaining Probationary Standing (Kedudukan Bersyarat - KS) are not allowed to exceed 12 credits when registering for the semester that follows.
