How to Use the Points Grade
- Enter points earned and maximum points for each assignment.
- Add rows as you complete new work throughout the semester.
- Track cumulative points remaining to reach your goal grade.
Mathematical Formula Behind Points Grade
Sum all earned points across assignments and divide by the sum of total points.
\text{Grade (\%)} = \frac{\sum \text{Points Earned}}{\sum \text{Total Points}} \times 100Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Assignments: 45/50, 92/100, 18/20.
Earned = 45 + 92 + 18 = 155. Total = 50 + 100 + 20 = 170. (155 / 170) * 100 = 91.18%.
Outcome: Total grade is 91.18% (A-).
