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

1 answer

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 \( 70% \).
