Grade Calculator

How to Open the Grade Calculator

  1. Open Grades
  2. Click the Grade Calculator icon (calculator), to the right of the “Grade Trend” header
  3. If you have multiple classes, a list will appear — select the class you want to calculate for

What Could I Get?

Projects your overall grade by letting you set hypothetical scores for every ungraded assignment.

Each ungraded assignment appears as a row with a slider and a percentage. Drag the slider to set a hypothetical score — your projected grade updates at the bottom of the dialog.

Default Slider Positions

Each slider starts at your current category average. If a category has no graded work yet, sliders in that category default to 100%.

Projected Grade Indicator

The projected grade at the bottom is color-coded against your at-risk threshold:

  • Green — projected grade is at or above your at-risk threshold
  • Yellow — projected grade is below your at-risk threshold

Reset

Click Reset to restore all sliders to their category-average defaults.

How the Projection Works

For weighted courses, each category’s hypothetical grade averages your existing graded points with the hypothetical scores, then applies the category’s weight. For non-weighted courses, raw points are summed across all assignments. Extra-credit categories (zero weight) are excluded.

What Do I Need?

Calculates the exact score you need on a single remaining assignment in a category to achieve your desired overall grade.

Requirements

This tab unlocks when a category has exactly one assignment left to grade. If no categories meet this requirement, the tab shows a “Come back later” message. Extra-credit categories (zero weight) are excluded.

Steps

The dialog shows your current overall grade for the class at the top.

  1. Select the target category (the one containing the single remaining ungraded item)
  2. Enter your desired overall grade
  3. Click Calculate

The result will tell you one of the following:

  • You need X% on that category to reach your target
  • You’re already above your target — your current grade already meets your target
  • Score is unachievable — the needed score exceeds 100%; adjust your target grade
