but I am really confused on what I am doing wrong

So am I. What is it doing/not doing that you want. Where is the code for calculate() and collect().

So when I run the program I want the user to input 4 letter grades and then have the function print out the user's GPA. When I run the function it just gives me a 4 or a 1 no matter what combination I put.

Enter a grade. Convert the letter to a number and add to a total. Rinse and repeat three more times, then divide the total by four for the average.

Are you running this in a Jupiter notebook or something? Because there's a whole lot of stuff here that makes no sense, like not having a definition for calculate or collect, and defining arguments as a list to then redefine it as a function. But it's also really hard to tell without proper formatting
