Example
| Activity | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Classwork/Homework/Group work/Self-Assessment |
Step 1 :90 + 85 + 75 + 95 + 93 + 88 + 80 + 95 + 94 + 85 = 880 Step 2: 880 ÷ 10 = 88 Step 3: 88 × 0.20 = 17.6 |
| Project/Experiment Demonstration/ Research |
Step 1: 100 + 92 = 192 Step 2: 192 ÷ 2 = 96 Step 3: 96 × 0.15 = 14 |
| Quizzes |
Step 1: 95 + 88 + 77 + 90 + 93 + 94 + 98 + 95 + 86 + 94 = 910 Step 2: 910÷10 = 91 Step 3: 91 × 0.20 = 18.2 |
| Tests |
Step 1: 94+ 90 + 93 + 95 = 372 Step 2: 372 ÷ 4 = 93 Step 3: 93 × 0.25= 23.25 |
| Exam | Step 1: 96 ×0.20 = 19.2 |
| FINAL calculation for the quarter grade is as follows: |
Add all the results of the 5 major components to get the final quarter grade: 17.6 + 14 + 18.22 |
