Course grade calculator
College syllabi say “course grade.” Enter each category the way the syllabus lists it. Defaults lean toward Assignments / Midterm / Final — change names freely.

Planning math only — not your school gradebook
When to use — and when not to
When to use
University LMS category view; syllabus has three or four buckets; you want course % before asking about the final.
When not to
High school quarters + exam — semester grade calculator. Equal item average — grade average calculator.
Assumptions
Syllabus category weights. One course. Optional remaining final row.
How it works
course% = Σ(score × weight) / Σ(weight)
- Mirror the syllabus categories.
- Enter each category average.
- Solve for a blank final if needed.
Examples
Assignments 91 @ 35%, Midterm 84 @ 25%, Final empty @ 40%, target 88
needed on final depends on contribution of graded share
Discussion 100 @ 10%, Exams 70 @ 90%
≈ 73%
Gotchas
- Discussion boards graded on completion can sit at 100% and barely move a heavy exam category.
- “Based on graded assignments” vs including blanks changes current — match your LMS toggle.
- Not a transcript tool.
