1 Add Grading Policy Categories

In most college classes, the instructor provides a syllabus with the grading policy for the semester but if you are in high school or another level of study and simply don't have a syllabus, you can just ask your instructor for the grading policy distribution. Once you have the distribution of weights for each category, they should resemble the following examples:

Percentage Based Point Based
  • Exams - 40%
  • Homework - 20%
  • Papers - 20%
  • Quizzes - 20%
  • Exams - 800
  • Homework - 50
  • Papers - 100
  • Quizzes - 50

On the grade calculator, add each category using the drop down list provided for quick access. You can edit the name once it is created:

2 Add Grading Policy Weights

Whether your policy uses percentages or points, simply input the number in the box next to the category name without any symbols:

40.00 %

3 Add Scores

Add the maximum score achievable for each graded entry for the category or grade type. For example, if each Exam is graded out of 100, then the max score is 100. If the Paper is graded out of 50, then the max score is 50. You can adjust the max score and entry name after you have added it:

The checked box for skip indicates that the entry will not be counted towards the final grade:

Adding a score removes the checkmark and it becomes a part of the grade calculations:

You can check the skip checkbox if you do not want to include the score in the grade. Continue to add scores for each category in the syllabus until all graded entries from assignments to exams are covered.

Using the grade policy breakdown and the scores inserted, we can display the current grade, the maximum, and minimum grades possible that you can achieve for your class. This powerful feature allows you to see how much effort is required to achieve your desired goal as you proceed through the course.
