Question

The questions below explore ways that different institutions calculate grade point average. Part A: Some colleges use a grading scale that includes grades with a plus or minus. One such example is shown in the table below. Grade A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D D- F Point-Value 4 3.7 3.3 3 2.7 2.3 2 1.7 1.3 1 0.7 0 Suppose your grades for this term are shown in the table below. Compute your semester GPA using a weighted average. Round to the nearest hundredth. Course Grade Grade Point-Value Credits Point-Value x Credits Quantitative Reasoning B 3 College Writing C+ 3 Geology A- 5 Financial Accounting B+ 4 GPA = Part B: Suppose your college uses a grading scale that does not differentiate letter grades with a plus or minus. Therefore, the scale is as follows: Grade Point-Value A 4 B 3 C 2 D 1 F 0 Suppose your grades for this term are shown in the table below. Compute your semester GPA using a weighted average. Round to the nearest hundredth. Course Grade Grade Point-Value Credits Point-Value x Credits Quantitative Reasoning B 3 College Writing C 3 Geology B 4 Financial Accounting A 5 GPA = Part C: Which grading scale resulted in a better (higher) GPA? Name one advantage and one disadvantage of using the scale with the plus and minus. Then name one advantage and one disadvantage of using the scale without the plus and minus.
