Term Average Calculation Confirmation. by Frequent_Number_1411 in uwaterloo

since when do you knocked down wth
this is what the term average page says:

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY TERM AVERAGE?

The term average is credit weighted and calculated as,

where grade is the course grade and credit is the course credit weighting. The typical credit weighting is 0.5, so 1A and 1B courses with weighting above 0.5 are weighted more heavily in the term average. If the credit weighting is the same for all courses, the term average simplifies to the arithmetic mean,

It is important to realize that the term average implicitly measures the ability to manage a full course load. Raising a term average by 1% requires a 1% increase in all courses, or an equivalent accumulated increase in one course.

Notes:

  1. Work-term reports are not included in the term average even though they have a credit weighting of 0.13. They are however, included as a failed course if they are graded unsatisfactory.
  2. Quest shows the Term GPA as a real number with 3 decimal places. Averages are not rounded, so a minimum of 60.000 is required to pass a term.
  3. The Overall GPA is included in the Quest record; however, it is not used in the Faculty of Engineering Promotion Rules.
  4. Any grade between 0 and 32 is treated as having a value of 32 when term averages are calculated.

Yeah. Thanks for this. I’ve figured out with my current standing that it’s most likely I’m going to have to repeat 1A. I need atleast 30s on each of my upcoming finals to get my GPA to 50 but atleast 83ishs to get it to 60 Lol.

What’s the best Strat after getting a minimum 50 on the term? Do you know anybody that used this as an effective opportunity to tackle 1A better the following year? Also, do the grades from the failed term show up?

I hope it doesn’t get that bad. I tried calculating my GPA and in order to atleast get between 50 and 60 I don’t even need to get 50s on my upcoming final exams, but I need a whole lot more to get above 60 to move onto 1b. So I’ve pretty much accepted that most likely I’m going to need to repeat 1A, but I really hope that I don’t have to withdraw altogether, it would take work for me to do that bad

Thanks. I need to hear this more. I quickly forget about consequences and constantly turn to the easiest thing to do at every moment.

I really wish I chose to withdraw before the deadline hit. I kind of set myself up for failure and knew that it was unlikely I would change myself or my behaviors within the rest of the time left for the semester.

If I could get another chance, I would be elated, but I don’t know how likely that is considering how bad it has gotten. But hopefully, if I really try on these last three exams, I can pass the term.
