<p>In Spanish, we have a weighted grade system, and</p>
<p>homework-5%
oral participation-15%
oral presentations-15%
quizzes-35%
tests-30%</p>
<p>I have a 80.5% right now. The semester's a quarter over, and I need to maintain 94-95% for the semester to get an A. Would the weighted system help me or hurt me? Right now, my test section is a 20%, that's part of the reason my grade's so low...and my quiz section is like a 28-30% probably.</p>
<p>I'm definitely going to get a test average of over 90%, a homework average of 5%, a quiz average of over 92%, and oral participation 100%, and oral presentation average of over 90% so how would the weighted system help/harm my quest for an A?</p>
<p>Wow, I'm so confused. Why are quizzes weighed more than tests?</p>
<p>You could definitely exploit the system though. You seem to be doing well with the oral stuff, and that's a nice large chunk of your grade...</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. And there are like 20 homework assignments a month, about 80 a semester...one homework assignment is worth 0.0625% of your grade...wow... And each test is worth about 6-8% of your grade, fair enough.</p>

<p>You just set it up mathematically...it's not that difficult. </p>
<p>Tests: .3(90) = 27
OPart: .15(100) = 15
OPres: .15(90) = 13.5
Quiz: .35(92) = 32.2
H/W: .5(100) = 5</p>
<p>Which gives you a 92.7...bare minimum, if the numbers you expect to get actually are what you get.</p>
