- How to exclude an assignment from the course's final grades?
- How to weight final course grade based on assignment groups.
- How to export final grades to MAUI from ICON using the MAUI in ICON tool.
- Final calculated grade: assignments can be worth a certain amount of points that are totaled for a final grade.
- Final calculated grade using weighted assignment groups: groups of assignments can count as a certain percentage of a final grade.
Final Calculated Grade
You offer a project-based class with three different types of grade items. However, you do not wish to weight the grade items differently. You assign weekly homework worth 5 points, quizzes worth 10, and the final worth 60 points. You also drop the lowest homework assignment score.
You release final grade to the student. It’s calculated as shown below.
| Grade Item | Calculation |
| Week 1 | = 4/5 * 100 = 80% |
| Week 2 | = 1/5 * 100 = Dropped |
| Week 3 | = 3/5 * 100 = 60% |
| Week 4 | = 5/5 * 100 = 100% |
| Quiz 1 | = 6/10 * 100 = 60% |
| Quiz 2 | = 8/10 * 100 = 80% |
| Final Exam | = 50/60 * 100 = 83.33% |
| Final Adjusted Grade | = (4+3+5+6+8+50)/(60+10+10+5+5+5) * 100 = 80% is the final adjusted grade |
Final Calculated Grade Using Weighted Assignment Groups
You offer a project-based class with three different types of grade items. You weight the grade items differently. You assign weekly homework 10%, quizzes 35%, and the final 55%. You also drop the lowest homework assignment score. Notice that you can make the max points higher as opposed to a non-weighted setup, as each section is worth only a certain portion of the overall grade.
You release final grade to the student. It’s calculated as shown below.
| Grade Items | Calculations |
| Week 1 | = 8/10 = 80% |
| Week 2 | = 9/10 = 90% |
| Week 3 | = 7/10 = 70% |
| Week 4 | = 2/10 = Dropped |
| HW Total (10% of total grade) | = (9+8+7)/(10+10+10) * 100 = 80% 80% * (10/100) = 8% of final grade |
| Quiz 1 | = 45/50 * 100 = 90% |
| Quiz 2 | = 40/50 = 80% |
| Quiz Total (35% of total grade) | = (40+45)/(50+50) * 100 = 85% 85% * (35/100) = 29.75% of final grade |
| Exam (55% of total grade) | = 93/100 * 100 = 93% 93% * (55/100) = 51.15 % of final grade |
| Final Adjusted Grade | = 8 + 29.75 + 51.15 = 88.9% is the final adjusted grade |
