**Find the GPA for the student:**

| Course           | Credits | Grade | Points |
|------------------|---------|-------|--------|
| English          | 3       | C     | 2.0    |
| Philosophy       | 4       | A     | 4.0    |
| Science          | 2       | D     | 1.0    |
| Success seminar  | 2       | B     | 3.0    |

(***round to the tenths place***)

### Steps to Calculate GPA

To calculate the GPA, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the Weighted Points for Each Course**:
   - **English**: \(3 \text{ credits} \times 2.0 \text{ points} = 6.0 \text{ weighted points}\)
   - **Philosophy**: \(4 \text{ credits} \times 4.0 \text{ points} = 16.0 \text{ weighted points}\)
   - **Science**: \(2 \text{ credits} \times 1.0 \text{ points} = 2.0 \text{ weighted points}\)
   - **Success seminar**: \(2 \text{ credits} \times 3.0 \text{ points} = 6.0 \text{ weighted points}\)

2. **Add All Weighted Points**:
   - Total weighted points: \(6.0 + 16.0 + 2.0 + 6.0 = 30.0\)

3. **Add All Credits**:
   - Total credits: \(3 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 11\)

4. **Divide the Total Weighted Points by the Total Credits**:
   - GPA: \(\frac{30.0}{11} = 2.7272...\)

5. **Round to the Tenths Place**:
   - Rounded GPA: 2.7

Therefore, the GPA for the student is **2.7**.
