Grade
Computer The
grade
computer will give your current course average as well as what
you need to get on the next exam in order to have a target course
average. You may also play with entering as many hypothetical
grades as you wish to see what effect they will have on the final grade. Example on how to use: you have a
participation
score of 3, you have
a worksheet scores of 45, 31 and 52 (it is assumed these are out of
60), and you have two
exam scores of 74 and 75 (assumed out of 100). Enter in the first
four rows: 3 Note 1: You will need to
provide all the fields up to at least exam 1 in order for the computer
to work. The
computer
ignores any information after the first blank exam field (try it: if
you
enter just exams 1 and 3 you will see that nothing changes after you
alter exam 3).
The maximum non-exam total has been
filled-in and will be updated periodically. If the information is
out of date, you may enter the newest data. Keep in mind that
exam grades are entered on a 0-100 scale. Note 2: if you enter four exam grades, the computer may report you need 0 points on the next exam (final) to have a particular grade, say 70. Since the final exam only replaces your weakest exam grade, if your grades before the final already support 70, then you don't need any points on the final exam to make a 70 overall. Note 3: the computer assumes that non-exam scores are always 15% of the grade. Disclaimer: This grade computer is for information purposes only. My records and computation are what will determine your final grade. Let me know if the computer acts in a suspicious way. |
