Final Course Grade vs Midterm Score (%)

How Assignment Weights Work

Each assignment category is weighted differently toward your final grade.

Formula

Final Grade = Sum(Score x Weight) / Sum(Weights)

For example, if exams are 60% and homework is 40%, a high homework score can help offset a lower exam score, but exams have more impact.

Example Calculation

Homework 92% (20%), Midterm 85% (25%), Final 78% (35%), Participation 95% (20%).

  1. 01Homework contribution = 92 x 20 / 100 = 18.4
  2. 02Midterm contribution = 85 x 25 / 100 = 21.25
  3. 03Final contribution = 78 x 35 / 100 = 27.3
  4. 04Participation contribution = 95 x 20 / 100 = 19.0
  5. 05Final grade = 18.4 + 21.25 + 27.3 + 19.0 = 85.95%
