This year I will be using the weighted grading system, but I am changing the weights a little. Tests will be weighted 25, quizzes 15, homework 10, projects 15, speaking assessments 10 and all other assignment types will still be weighted 5.
Here is an example of weighted grading.
weights: points points earned
quiz 15 50 45
test 25 100 89
Homework 10 30 25
First find the percentage of points vs. points earned
quiz .9
test .89
homework .83
Then take these decimals and multiply them against the weights to find the earned weight grade for each assignment type.
quiz 13.5
test 22.5
homework 8.3
Lastly you total up the earned weighted grades and divide them by the total possible weighted grades.
