How Grades are Calculated using Weighted Scores
Mr. Kamada’s weighted grading scale is (currently)
15 % HW
15% Inclass Grade
50% Sectional Quizzes (SQ)
20% Tests
Example:
Total HW points possible for Trimester One was 450 points
Total Inclass points possible for Trimester One was 300 points
Total SQ points possible for Trimester One was 350 points
Total Test points possible for Trimester One was 100 points
Suppose a student had the following totals at the end of Trimester One
HomeWork + Inclass + SQ + Test
15 ( 400/450) + 15 ( 290 /300) + 50 (250/350) + 20 (75/100)
Where the ratios of each are the points earned divided by points possible and the coefficients in front of the ratios are the respective weights of each category.
In this scenario, the students final T1 grade would be 78.5% or a C+
Notice the SQ category is the least of the ratio values with a score of 71% on all SQ in the grading period.
The test score was 75%. But HW totals and Inclass grade brought the students score up to a C+
Moral of the story: Be in class and do your HW!
