Understanding Grade Calculations
Different universities and institutions may use varying grading systems. Here’s a general overview of how module grades are typically calculated:
Weighted Average: Most modules use a weighted average system. Each assessment component is assigned a percentage of the total grade.
Grade Conversion: Your percentage score is often converted to a letter grade or GPA equivalent.
Cumulative GPA: For overall academic performance, individual module grades contribute to your cumulative GPA.
Example Calculation
Let’s say your module has three components:
- Midterm Exam (30% of total grade): You scored 80%
- Final Exam (50% of total grade): You scored 75%
- Coursework (20% of total grade): You scored 90%
Your overall grade would be calculated as follows: (80 _ 0.3) + (75 _ 0.5) + (90 * 0.2) = 24 + 37.5 + 18 = 79.5%
