Each assignment, in a point-based grading system, is assigned a point value. The final grade in a course is cumulative and determined by adding up all the points earned in individual assignments.
Set the Maximum Points Possible
Assign each assignment a maximum number of points based on its level of difficulty.
Calculate the Final Course Grade
Sum the points the student earned on each assignment out of the maximum points possible.
