Grade Sheet Instructions

Task: Create a grade sheet to calculate grades for a fictional course with quizzes, exams, and a
Final. A template is provided as a guide for the format. The calculation guidelines for the sheet
are as follows:

Weightings for grades


 Quiz Average = 30%
 Exam Average = 45%
 Final Exam = 25%

Calculate Quiz Average


 drop lowest quiz grade, take the average of the remaining quiz grades

Exam Average
 Comes from 3 possible sources (each calculated in a separate column on the
sheet):
o The average of the two exam grades, OR
o The average of the quiz average and the Exam 2 grade (i.e., quiz average
replaces Exam 1)
o The average of the quiz average and the Exam 1 grade (i.e., quiz average
replaces Exam 2)

Final Exam
 A single grade

Attendance Sheet
 Formatting and dates only (no calculations)

EXTRA CREDIT – Determine the Letter grade from the numerical grade
 Create a logical function (series of “IF” statements) to display the final letter
grade (A-, B, C+, etc.) corresponding to the numerical final grade. The criteria for
each letter grade is shown below:
in the first Letter Grade column (next to Rounded Final Grade column)
grade < 59.5 = “F”
grade < 62.5 = “D-”
grade < 66.5 = “D”
grade < 69.5 = “D+”
grade < 72.5 = “C-”
grade < 76.5 = “C”
grade < 79.5 = “C+”
ELSE grade = “>>>>” (i.e., look in the next column to the right)

in the second Letter Grade column (to the right of the first Letter Grade column)
grade <79.5 = “<<<<” (i.e., look in the previous column to the left)
grade < 82.5 = “B-”
grade < 86.5 = “B”
grade < 89.5 = “B+”
grade < 92.5 = “A-”
ELSE grade = “A”
