What does this tool do?
An assignment grade is points earned divided by points possible. This calculator also shows the letter band and how much the assignment moves your overall course grade at a given weight.
The Formula
Assignment grade = Points earned ÷ Points possible × 100; Course contribution = Grade × Weight ÷ 100Frequently Asked Questions
How is the course contribution calculated?
Multiply the assignment percentage by its weight and divide by 100. An 85% assignment worth 20% adds 17 points to the weighted course total.
What if I earned extra credit?
Enter the actual points earned, even if they exceed the points possible. The percentage will rise above 100%, which is how many gradebooks treat extra credit.
