To illustrate how final grades are calculated, let’s consider the following example. Assume a student receives the following grades in different assessments:
| Assessment | Weight (%) | Grade (%) |
|---|---|---|

The final grade is calculated as follows:
Final Grade Calculation:
Final Grade=(85×0.20)+(78×0.30)+(90×0.25)+(88×0.25)
Final Grade=17+23.4+22.5+22Final Grade=17+23.4+22.5+22
Final Grade=84.9Final Grade=84.9
Thus, the final grade is 84.9.
