How it works
- Set the maximum value of your grading scale.
- Add each assessment with its grade and percentage weight.
- Check that the weights match your course syllabus.
- Review the accumulated contribution, evaluated weight and normalized weighted average.
Practical example
Suppose homework is 87% with a 15% weight, the midterm is 73% with a 30% weight, the project is 92% with a 20% weight, and quizzes are 84% with a 10% weight. Their weighted contributions are 13.05, 21.9, 18.4 and 8.4 points. Together they contribute 61.75 points across the 75% evaluated so far, giving a current normalized weighted grade of 82.33%.
Formula and explanation
Apply the formula to every row: weighted contribution = grade × weight ÷ 100. For example, a grade of 87% with a 15% weight contributes 13.05 points to the course grade. Add all assessment contributions to obtain the weighted grade.
When the weights total 100%, that sum is the complete weighted final grade. If they total less than 100%, the accumulated contribution shows the course points earned so far, while the normalized average describes only the assessed work; the remaining percentage is not treated as a zero. If weights exceed 100%, check the percentages entered.
