Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the grade I need on my final?
Needed final score = (target grade - current grade x (1 - final weight)) / final weight, with weights as decimals.
What if the result is over 100%?
Your target is out of reach on the final alone. Ask your instructor about extra credit or other options, and set a realistic target.
