To calculate the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) using a 5.0 grading system, we follow these steps:
- Convert Grades to Points: Use the key provided to convert each grade to its corresponding point value.
- Calculate Quality Points: Multiply the points for each course by the number of credits for that course to get the quality points.
- Sum of Quality Points and Total Credits: Add up all the quality points to get the total quality points and sum up all the credits to get the total credits.
- Calculate CGPA: Divide the total quality points by the total credits.
