Averaging Grades
My fiancee is a T.A. in a music class and she has to figure out grades for the kids in the class. There are five things the kids are graded on and they all are weighted differently:
Tests: 45% Quizzes: 20% Participation/Attendance: 15% Online Assignments: 10% Concert Reports: 10% Anyone know how to explain how to figure out how to give the grades? Thanks. |

Re: Averaging Grades
Take the weights and multiply them by total grades for each section, then just add them up.
Example: Tests: 90 * .45 = 40.5 Quizzes: 100 * .20 = 20 Participation: 100 * .15 = 15 Online Assignments: 90 * .10 = 9 Concert Reports: 85 * .10 = 8.5 Total = 93% |

Re: Averaging Grades
Or you could do this:
total = (t * .45) + (q * .2) + (p * .15) + (o * .1) + (c * .1) Cleaner and gives you what IFX did. (Assuming you already have the scores for the above criteria already. If not, you're pretty much SOL.) |
