Resources for grading and assessment

Calculating a student's final grade in a weighted system:

(Assignment 1 grade x Weight of Assignment 1) + (Assignment 2 grade x Weight of Assignment 2) + (Assignment 3 grade x Weight of Assignment 3)...

Make sure that the percentages for assignment weight in the equation all add up to 100%

Example:

(90 * .25) + (85 * .20) + (80 * .10) + (93 * .15) + (83 * .30)

22.5 + 17 + 8 + 13.95 + 24.9 = 86.35

Calculating a student's current grade in a weighted system:

((Assignment 1 grade x Weight of Assignment 1) + (Assignment 2 grade x Weight of Assignment 2) + (Assignment 3 grade x Weight of Assignment 3)) / (Total weight of assignments completed / .01)

Example:

((90 * .25) + (85 * .20) + (80 * .10)) / ((.25 + .20 + .10) / .01)

(22.5 + 17 + 8) / (.55 / .01)

(22.5 + 17 + 8) / 55

47.5 / 55 = 86.36
