GPA Calculation

Calculating Grade Point Average

Formula of GPA

GPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of a semester

             -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          The total credit units acquired in the same semester

Formula of CGPA

CGPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of all semesters
               --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     The total credit units acquired in all semesters

GPA Worksheet 

1. Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester

2. Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in chemistry.

                  3. What is the difference in GPA?

1.

Comparative Animal Physiology

3.33 x 3
= 9.99

Biochemistry I :
1.67 x 4
= 6.68

Integrated Physiology Lab I
 4.00 x 1
= 4

Asian Civilization
 1.67 x 3
= 5.01

Ecology

4.00 x 3
= 12

Korean I

3.00 x 3
= 9

Total number of credits = 3+4+1+3+3+3

                                      = 17
Total points earned = 9.99 + 6.68 + 4 + 5.01 + 12 + 9
                                =  46.68

GPA = 46.68/17

         = 2.75

2. 3 x 4 = 12

Total points earned = 9.99 + 12 + 4 + 5.01 + 12 + 9
                                   = 52
GPA = 52/17
         = 3.05

3.

3.05 - 2.75
= 0.30

    

4. 

Cell Biology

 3.33 x 4

= 13.32

Organic Chemistry I

3.00 x 4

= 12.00

Intro Physics I

2.00 x 3

= 6.00

Writing in Biology

2.00 x 3
= 6.00

Public Speaking

3.67 x 3
= 11.01

Total Number of Credits = 4 + 4 + 3 +3 + 3

                                        = 17

Total Points Earned =  13.32 + 12.00 + 6.00 + 6.00 + 11.01

                                   = 48.33

GPA = 48.33/17

         = 2.84

5. 

1.00 x 4
= 4

1.00 x 4 = 4

Total points earned = 4.00 + 12.00 + 6.00 + 6.00 + 11.01
                               = 39.01
GPA = 39.01/17
         = 2.29

If Amalia had received a D in Cell Bio , her GPA is getting decrease from 2.84 to 2.29.

6. 

2.84 - 2.29

= 0.55

8.

She needs to score in almost every subjects in 1st semester in order to archieve a GPA of 3.00 in 2nd semester

Getting Ready To Learn

At this date, It was my first ever Study Skills class that was conducted by YBrs. Dr Fauzi bin Azmi. All the students were gathered in the hall.

He explained a lot of things to students . We have 7 syllabus contents that need to learn until the interim session come to the end.

• Getting Ready To Learn
• Goal Setting
• Library & Campus Resources
• Time Management & Organizational Skills
• Memory Learning & Improving Concentration
• Taking Lecture Notes
• Academic Integrity & Performances

We also have assessment that we need to do

• Assignment (Video) = 40 %
• E. Portfolio = 60 %
  Total = 100%

Other than that, he added that the students are not in the school anymore because the school life and the univeristy life are different.

Gearing up For University

 

• Attendance must be 80% and above
• Fewer reasons for excused absences
• Responsible for your own learning & behaviour
• Instructors don' tell you what exactly notes to take
• You spend less time in class
• You can drop a class

Memory  Learning & Improving Concentration

I want to update on my latest topic that I had learned about Memory, Learning & Improving Concentration with Miss 'Ainatul Fathiyah or as known as Miss 'Aina.

In this topic I learnt about :

• Learning Pyramid
• Stratergies to improve concentration
• How To Read SQ3R
• Memory Strategies
• Understanding Memories

The mind map that I created

Now, It is easy for me to learn and memorize the topics that I've learnt in the class and I will use these methods in order to archieve high marks.
