Class Grade Calculator: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

This guide will walk you through using the Class Grade Calculator to determine a student’s final grade, letter grade, and GPA equivalent based on their scores in assignments, exams, and class participation. Follow the steps outlined below to successfully use the calculator.

Step 1: Enter Assignment Score

• Locate the input field labeled Assignment Score.
• Enter a score between 0 and 100 based on the student’s assignment performance. Make sure to adhere to the step value of 0.1 for decimal precision.
• This field is required, so ensure that you have provided a valid score.

Step 2: Enter Midterm Exam Score

• Find the input field labeled Midterm Exam Score.
• Input a score between 0 and 100 for the student’s midterm exam results, using increments of 0.1 for precision if necessary.
• This score is mandatory for calculating the final grade.

Step 3: Enter Final Exam Score

• Navigate to the field labeled Final Exam Score.
• Provide a score ranging from 0 to 100, reflecting the student’s performance on the final exam. Utilize increments of 0.1 when required.
• As with the previous fields, this score is essential for completing the calculation.

Step 4: Select Class Participation Level

• Find the dropdown menu labeled Class Participation.
• Select one of the predefined options that best describes the student’s level of participation:
• Excellent (100%)
• Good (85%)
• Average (70%)
• Poor (50%)
• None (0%)
• This selection is crucial for an accurate final grade calculation.

Step 5: Review the Results

Upon completing the inputs above, the calculator will automatically compute the results in the following areas:

• Final Grade: This is a percentage score calculated using the formula: (Assignment Score * 0.3) + (Midterm Exam Score * 0.25) + (Final Exam Score * 0.35) + (Participation Score * 0.1). The result will be formatted with two decimal places and suffixed with a percentage sign (%).
• Letter Grade: Based on the final grade, this will be assigned as A, B, C, D, or F, corresponding to the following criteria: A for scores 90 and above, B for scores 80 to 89.9, C for 70 to 79.9, D for 60 to 69.9, and F for scores below 60.
• GPA Equivalent: This value is determined based on the final grade percentage: 4.0 for A, 3.0 for B, 2.0 for C, 1.0 for D, and 0.0 for F. It will be presented with one decimal place for clarity.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the Class Grade Calculator to assess a student’s academic performance. Ensure all scores are accurately entered to obtain precise results in both grade and GPA terms.
