how to calculate your grade with weighted assignments

 To calculate your grade with weighted assignments, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the Weight of Each Assignment Category: Start by identifying the different assignment categories and their respective weights. For example, you might have categories like homework, quizzes, exams, and projects, each with its own weight (e.g., homework 20%, quizzes 30%, exams 40%, projects 10%).

2. Convert Grades to Decimal Form: Convert each of your grades for assignments within each category to a decimal form based on the grading scale used in your class (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, etc.).

3. Calculate the Weighted Score for Each Category: Multiply each assignment grade by its corresponding weight (as a decimal). For example, if you scored 90% on a homework assignment worth 20%, you would multiply 0.90 by 0.20 to get 0.18.

4. Sum the Weighted Scores for Each Category: Add up all the weighted scores within each category.

5. Calculate the Overall Grade: Sum the weighted scores from all assignment categories to obtain your overall grade. This will be your weighted average score.

Here's a formula you can use to calculate your overall grade:

$\text{Overall Grade}=({\text{Weighted Score}}_1+{\text{Weighted Score}}_2+\dots +{\text{Weighted Score}}_{�})$

For example, let's say you have the following grades and weights for assignments:

• Homework (20% weight): 90%
• Quizzes (30% weight): 85%
• Exams (40% weight): 80%
• Projects (10% weight): 95%

Here's how you would calculate your overall grade:

$\text{Overall Grade}=(0.90\times 0.20)+(0.85\times 0.30)+(0.80\times 0.40)+(0.95\times 0.10)$

$\text{Overall Grade}=(0.18)+(0.255)+(0.32)+(0.095)$

$\text{Overall Grade}=0.18+0.255+0.32+0.095$

$\text{Overall Grade}=0.85$

So, your overall grade would be 85%.

By following these steps, you can calculate your overall grade using weighted assignments.
