1. What is the Semester Mark Calculator?

The Semester Mark Calculator computes your overall mark based on weighted assignment scores. It helps students track their academic progress throughout the semester.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted average formula:

\[ \text{Mark} = \frac{\sum(\text{Assignments} \times \text{Weights})}{\text{Total Weight}} \]

Where:

\( \text{Assignments} \) — Array of assignment scores (percentage)
\( \text{Weights} \) — Array of corresponding weights (dimensionless)
\( \text{Total Weight} \) — Sum of all weights

Explanation: Each assignment contributes to the final mark proportionally to its weight.

3. Importance of Semester Mark Calculation

Details: Calculating your semester mark helps you understand your current standing, identify areas needing improvement, and plan study efforts effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter assignment scores as percentages (comma separated) and their corresponding weights (also comma separated). The number of scores and weights must match.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my assignments have different maximum points?
A: Convert all scores to percentages before entering them into the calculator.

Q2: How should I determine weights?
A: Weights are typically provided in your course syllabus, representing each assignment's relative importance.

Q3: What's a good semester mark?
A: This depends on your institution and program, but generally 70%+ is considered good in most academic settings.

Q4: Can I use this for final grade calculation?
A: Yes, if you know all your assignment scores and their weights, this will give you your final course mark.

Q5: What if I'm missing some assignments?
A: You can still calculate your current mark by including only completed assignments and their weights.
