Formula Used

The final grade is calculated using the following formula:

Final Grade = (Assignment Score × Assignment Weight) + (Exam Score × Exam Weight) + (Participation Score × Participation Weight)

Where:

Assignment Score - Your score for assignments (0-100)
Assignment Weight - The percentage weight of assignments in the final grade (e.g., 0.3 for 30%)
Exam Score - Your score for exams (0-100)
Exam Weight - The percentage weight of exams in the final grade (e.g., 0.5 for 50%)
Participation Score - Your score for participation (0-100)
Participation Weight - The percentage weight of participation in the final grade (e.g., 0.2 for 20%)

Note: The weights should add up to 1 (or 100%) for the calculation to be accurate.

Worked Example

Let's say you have the following scores and weights:

Assignment Score: 85
Assignment Weight: 30% (0.3)
Exam Score: 90
Exam Weight: 50% (0.5)
Participation Score: 75
Participation Weight: 20% (0.2)

Using the formula:

Final Grade = (85 × 0.3) + (90 × 0.5) + (75 × 0.2) = 25.5 + 45 + 15 = 85.5

Your final grade would be 85.5%.
