College Course Example

Course Components

Midterm Exam
85%Weight: 30%
Final Project
92%Weight: 40%
Homework Average
88%Weight: 30%

Calculation

(85 × 0.30) = 25.5
(92 × 0.40) = 36.8
(88 × 0.30) = 26.4
Final Grade: 88.7%

High School Example

Course Components

Tests (3)
83%Weight: 45%
Quizzes (5)
89%Weight: 30%
Participation
95%Weight: 25%

Calculation

(83 × 0.45) = 37.35
(89 × 0.30) = 26.70
(95 × 0.25) = 23.75
Final Grade: 87.8%

Understanding Grade Weights

Weights must always total 100%
Higher weights have more impact on final grade
Convert decimals to percentages (0.3 = 30%)
Check your syllabus for correct weights
