Custom Calculated Grade

Custom Grade Formula

You can easily add calculations to your course grade book. A calculation is a formula that produces a numerical result used to view or assign grades, usually based on other graded items. There is no weightage rule applied. The formula multiplies all scores with their given values and sums the result. 

(Score1 * Weight) + (Score2 * Weight) + (Score3 * Weight)

There is no weightage rule applied. The formula multiplies all scores with their given values and sums the result.

In this type of grading system, the grade for a course might be calculated as follows:
Example:

Item

 Achievable Points  
 (Possible Points
 * Weight)
    

  Earned Points
 (Points Earned   
 * Weight)
   Earned Points / Achievable points 
Exam 1 200 * 0.25 = 50 150 * 0.25 = 37.5    
Exam 2 300 * 0.25 = 75 275 * .25 = 68.75   
Assignment (category)    500 * 0.50 = 250 450 * .50 = 225    
Final Grade 375 331.25  331.25 / 375 = 88.33
