Example hypothetical calculations to show how to calculate your term grade point (you can plug in the actual breakdowns used in this course to estimate your grade this semester).

  Letter grade GPA Weighted value = GPA * Weight
Assignment 1 A 4 4 * 2% = 0.08
Assignment 2 A 4 4 * 4% = 0.16
Assignment 3 A- 3.7 3.7 * 4%= 0.148
Assignment 4 A 4 4 * 10% = 0.4
Assignment 5 A+ 3.3 4.3 * 10% = 0.43
     Assignment subtotal =   0.08 + 0.16 + 0.148 + 0.4 + 0.43 = 1.218
Midterm A- 3.7 3.7 * 30% = 1.11
Final B+ 3.3 3.3 * 40% = 1.32
     Exam subtotal = 1.11 + 1.32 = 2.43

 
Assignment subtotal (=1.218) + Exam subtotal (=2.430) = Overall term GPA (3.648)

Note:  You must pass the examination component of the course (Midterm and Final) to receive a C- or higher for your term grade.
