Calculation of Final Grade

To more accurately grade each student on their progress, each project will get a grade of 0, (not completed), 1 (poor weld quality), 2 (medium weld quality), 3 (good weld quality), 4 (exceptional weld quality). Total possible points available is the number of projects multiplied by 4. The Percentage Completed will be determined by dividing student’s total points earned by total points possible.

Projects............................ Percent Completed__________% x 60% = __________Points

Examinations................... Average of Grades__________% x 40% = __________Points
