Step-by-Step Calculation
Calculate Quality Points for Psychology
3 \times 4.0 = 12.0Credits times grade points.
Calculate Quality Points for Calculus
4 \times 3.3 = 13.2Credits times grade points.
Calculate Quality Points for Writing
3 \times 3.7 = 11.1Credits times grade points.
Calculate Quality Points for Chemistry & Lab
(4 \times 3.0) + (2 \times 4.0) = 12.0 + 8.0 = 20.0Credits times grade points.
Sum Total Quality Points & Divide
\frac{12.0 + 13.2 + 11.1 + 20.0}{16} = \frac{56.3}{16} = 3.518Total quality points divided by 16 attempted credit hours.
