Students’ grades/percentages are calculated according to the following criteria at some universities. Each student will receive a grade based on their marks/percentage. The student’s GPA is calculated using the grade average. As a result, students must focus on various other activities in addition to their university exams.

First, you know the course criteria score

Quizzes, Assignments, Project Presentation, Class Participation score is 30%
Mid-Term Examination score is 30%
The final Examination score is 40%
