Why your Canvas grade can be wrong
Most gradebooks show the average of work that has already been graded. A final exam with no score yet often drops out of the current number, even if it is worth 30% of the course. Leave future categories blank here to see what they still control.
How weighted grades work
Most college courses split your grade into categories like homework, midterms, projects, and finals. Each category carries a weight. Your current grade is the weighted average of the categories that already have scores.
The target calculation runs the same equation backward. Given your current scores, blank remaining categories, and target grade, it solves for the average you need on the remaining work.
How to use this calculator
- Copy the category names and weights from your syllabus.
- Enter scores for work that has already been graded.
- Leave future work blank, especially the final exam or final project.
- Set your target grade and read the required average on remaining work.
