Grades and Grades Calculators

MyLab Math (MLM) Grade Example

MLM grade calculation is based on the Weighted Average method.
Each section has equal weights.
This is how your MLM grades are calculated.

(1.) The MyLab Math (MLM) has 4 chapters: Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5.

(2.) The 4 chapters has 25 main sections.
These are Sections: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 11.2
Because I do not want to overwhelm you with many questions per section, each section is further divided into more sections.
Hence, the 25 sections are further divided into 59 sections.
So, we are dealing with 59 sections. Please see them in the calculator.

(3.) 59 sections count for 100% on MLM
This implies that each section count for

$ \dfrac{100}{59} = 1.694915254\% \\[5ex] $ This is what should be entered in the Weight section of the calculator.

(4.) Let us do an example.
Assume Student A made a:
98% on Section 2.1-1st
90% on Section 2.1-2nd
86% on Section 2.1-3rd
Student A is aware that 100% can be made on all three sections by doing similar questions of the questions got incorrectly.
However, Student A is content with the grades made so far and wants to find the current grade.
What is the current grade for Student A?

Student A's current grade
MLM Section	Weight (%)	Your Score (%)	Weighted Score (Weight * Your Score)
Section 2.1-1st	1.694915254	98	166.1016949
Section 2.1-2nd	1.694915254	90	152.5423729
Section 2.1-3rd	1.694915254	86	145.7627118
$\Sigma Weights = 5.084745763$	$\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 464.4067796$
$ Current\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{464.4067796}{5.084745763} = 91.33333332 \approx 91\% $

$\Sigma Weights = 5.084745763$

$\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 464.4067796$

$ Current\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{464.4067796}{5.084745763} = 91.33333332 \approx 91\% $

Student A's current MLM grade based on these three sections is 91%.
This is the grade that the student will see in the MLM gradebook.

You may verify your calculations with the MLM Grade Calculator.

Final Grade Example

Final grade calculation is also based on the Weighted Average method.
Each assessment does not have equal weight.
This is how your final grade is calculated.

Final Grade Example

DB 10	2	93	186
Project	10	100	1000
$\Sigma Weights = 100$	$\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 9008$
$ Cumulative\;\;Final\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{9008}{100} = 90.08 \approx 90\% $

$\Sigma Weights = 100$

$\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 9008$

$ Cumulative\;\;Final\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{9008}{100} = 90.08 \approx 90\% $

Please NOTE:
(1.) There is a difference between Current Grade and Cumulative Grade.
Current grade is the grade for some assessments (past due assessments).
Cumulative grade is the grade for all assessments.
Final Grade = Current Grade = Cumulative Grade.

(2.) You must not complete all fields.
You can calculate your current grade at any time during the course based on the assessments you have done.
Then, you can verify your calculations with the calculator.

(3.) The final grade is rounded to the nearest integer only one time.
A grade of 89.50000001% is rounded to a 90% which is an A while a grade of 89.499999 is rounded to an 80% which is a B.

(4.) At least a final grade of 70% (C) is required to pass the course.

(5.) There is no extra credit or bonus point or curving grades for the course.
Please review the Frequently Asked Questions for explanations.

(6.) Please send an email to me and/or attend the Student Engagement Hours/Live Sessions if you have any questions.
