[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers can use the 4.0 scale or the 100-pt scale in their gradebook, but once the final grade is calculated, the letter graded is converted to quality points. You don’t need to worry about converting a 93 to a 3.?

Final grades awarded to students will be A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, or F
Quality points are awarded as follows:
 
A	4.0	C	2.0
A-	3.7	C-	1.7
B+	3.3	D+	1.3
B	3.0	D	1.0
B-	2.7	F	0.0
C+	2.3

So whether a student ended up with a 93 or a 100 in the class, they get a letter grade of “A.” For gpa purposes, that counts as 4.0 unweighted quality points. Likewise, in a class where the teacher used the 4.0 scale, a student who finished the year with a 3.8 gets a letter grade of “A” so this maps to 4.0 quality points. [/quote]

Great!. Thanks. It seems that the grades for each quarter is averaged for the GPA as per PP. So if you get a B+, A-, A, A in the 1, 2, 3, and 4th quarter the GPA will not be 4 but average of for quarters or 
(3.3 + 3.7 + 4 + 4) / 4 = 3.75

Does this sound right?[/quote]
