Grade Example

Go Big Red!

Suppose a student has the following grades:

Projects, Quizzes, etc... = 25% of grade

Points Earned Points Possible

Projects
1 5 5

2 42 45

3 34 44

4 38 53

5 46 48

Quizzes 1 13 15

2 14 15

Total 192 225

Grade - 192/225 = 85.3%

3 Exams (lowest score dropped) = 50% of grade

Grade (%)

1 96

2 88

3 89

Since test #2 was the lowest grade, that test is not included.

Grade – (96%+89%)/2 = 92.5%

1 Comprehensive Final = 25% of grade

Final Exam = 77%

The overall final grade is:

(Projects, Quizzes, etc…)*25% + Tests*50% + Final*25%

= 85.3%*25% + 92.5%*50% + 77%*25%

= 86.83%
