MyLab Math (MLM) Grade Example

MLM grade calculation is based on the Weighted Average method.
Each section has equal weights.
This is how your MLM grades are calculated.

Assigned and Graded:
(1.) The MyLab Math (MLM) has 6 chapters: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

(2.) The 5 chapters has 23 main sections.
These are Sections: 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E
Because I do not want to overwhelm you with many questions per section, each section is further divided into more sections.
Hence, the 23 sections are further divided into 57 sections.
So, we are dealing with 64 sections. Please see them in the calculator.

(3.) 57 sections count for 100% on MLM
This implies that each section count for

$ \dfrac{100}{57} = 1.754385965\% \\[5ex] $ This is what should be entered in the Weight section of the calculator.

(4.) Let us do an example.
Assume Student A made a:
98% on Section 1A-1st
90% on Section 1A-2nd
86% on Section 1B-1st
Student A is aware that 100% can be made on all three sections by doing similar questions of the questions got incorrectly.
However, Student A is content with the grades made so far and wants to find the current grade.
What is the current grade for Student A?

Student A's current grade
MLM Section Weight (%) Your Score (%) Weighted Score
(Weight * Your Score)
Section 1A-1st 1.754385965 98 171.9298246
Section 1A-2nd 1.754385965 90 157.8947368
Section 1B-1st 1.754385965 86 150.877193
$\Sigma Weights = 5.263157895$ $\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 480.7017544$
$ Current\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{480.7017544}{5.263157895} = 91.33333333 \approx 91\% $

Student A's current MLM grade based on these three sections is 91%.
This is the grade that the student will see in the MLM gradebook.

Final Grade Example

Final grade calculation is also based on the Weighted Average method.
Each assessment does not have equal weight.
This is how your final grade is calculated.

Final Grade Example
Assessments Weight (%) Your Score (%) Weighted Score
(Weight * Your Score)
MyLab Math (MLM) 70 90 6300
DB 1 2 95 190
DB 2 2 90 180
DB 3 2 80 160
DB 4 2 85 170
DB 5 2 100 200
DB 6 2 70 140
DB 7 2 75 150
DB 8 2 84 168
DB 9 2 82 164
DB 10 2 93 186
Project 10 100 1000
$\Sigma Weights = 100$ $\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores = 9008$
$ Cumulative\;\;Final\;\;Grade = \dfrac{\Sigma Weighted\;\;Scores}{\Sigma Weights} = \dfrac{9008}{100} = 90.08 \approx 90\% $

Please NOTE:
(1.) There is a difference between Current Grade and Cumulative Grade.
Current grade is the grade for some assessments (past due assessments).
Cumulative grade is the grade for all assessments.
Final Grade = Current Grade = Cumulative Grade.

(2.) You must not complete all fields.
You can calculate your current grade at any time during the course based on the assessments you have done.
Then, you can verify your calculations with the calculator.

(3.) The final grade is rounded to the nearest integer only one time.
A grade of 89.50000001% is rounded to a 90% which is an A while a grade of 89.499999 is rounded to an 80% which is a B.

(4.) At least a final grade of 70% (C) is required to pass the course.

(5.) There is no extra credit or bonus point or curving grades for the course.
Please review the Frequently Asked Questions for explanations.

(6.) Please send an email to me and/or attend the Student Engagement Hours/Live Sessions if you have any questions.
