Question

if projects are worth 30% of my grade and i have an 100% (an a) but i didn’t do the project and got a 0 what would be my score

Answer 1

To calculate your overall grade with the project worth 30% of your total grade, you need to consider the weight of both your project score and your other work.

Assuming your other work contributes the remaining 70% of your grade and you have a perfect score of 100% in that area:

1. Calculate the weighted score from your projects:
- Project score: \( 0\% \) (because you didn't do it)
- Weight of projects: \( 30\% \)
- Contribution from projects: \( 0\% \times 0.30 = 0\% \)

2. Calculate the weighted score from your other work:
- Other work score: \( 100\% \)
- Weight of other work: \( 70\% \)
- Contribution from other work: \( 100\% \times 0.70 = 70\% \)

3. Add both contributions together for the total score:
\[
\text{Total Score} = \text{Contribution from projects} + \text{Contribution from other work}
\]
\[
\text{Total Score} = 0 + 70 = 70\%
\]

So, your overall score would be \( 70\% \).
