Turn Scores Into Grades

Copy

My students constantly ask what grade they are on and what they need to pass. Build me a grade calculator. Keep the course structure as records: each component with its name, its weighting as a percentage and its maximum mark, and refuse to publish if the weightings do not total one hundred. Let marks be entered per student per component. Show each student a running weighted grade based on what has been marked so far, the grade band it falls in, and what overall grade is still mathematically achievable. Add a target mode where a student enters the grade they want and it tells them the mark needed on each remaining component. Add an AI agent that explains a student position encouragingly and names the single component that would most improve their grade. Automate a scheduled weekly update to each student with their current position, and an alert to me when a student drops below a threshold. Two logins: a student who sees only their own marks, tested with a second account, and a teacher who sees the class.

Turn Scores Into Grades

Apply weighted components to produce a running grade, and tell each student what mark they still need to reach a target.

Weighted grades are simple arithmetic that almost nobody can do in their head. This applies the weightings, shows the working, and answers the only question students ask.

What's Included

  • Weighted components that must add up before anything is published.
  • A running grade as the term progresses, not just at the end.
  • What is still achievable which is the real question being asked.
  • An assistant that says what mark is needed on what remains.

How To Use

  1. Check the weightings sum to one hundred before publishing anything.
  2. Show a running grade during the term. It changes behavior early enough to matter.
  3. Answer the achievable question directly. It is what every student wants.
  4. Let students see only their own record, and test that with a second account.

Run the course around it with education prompts, and track attendance with time tracking prompts.
