Let’s assume a student gets an A, B and a C in the 3 classes. Using a 4-point scale you might assume their GPA is (2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0)/3 = 3.0. But this is incorrect because your G.P.A is weighted by the number of credits each class is worth. In this class, the C is a 4-credit class, B is a 3-credit class and the A only a 2-credit class. So, what would be the correct GPA of this student?
