Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The possible ways to compare academic work of two classes are provided below,
A. the average of student’s quiz grades.
B. the average of student’s final grades.
C. the average number of student absences.
Consider the provided possible ways to compare academic work of two classes are provided below,
A. the average of student’s quiz grades.
B. the average of student’s final grades.
C. the average number of student absences.
Academic work takes into account all the work done by student that is assignments, test, homework and quizzes. So, final grades best measure the academic work of a student.
Sometimes quizzes can be easy or hard and so it is not an accurate way to compare the academic performance.
Also the number of student absences has got no relevance with the academic performance.
Thus, the average of student’s final grades that is the option B. is the best average he should choose to compare academic work of two classes.
