College Schedule Mini-ProjectCollege Prep Stats
Details With most of us headed off for college
next year, it’s important that we know how to: Select Classes Create a time schedule that makes sense
for you Calculate GPA
GPA’s in college are weighted! (A class worth more credit hours has a bigger effect on your overall GPA)
Project You will receive a course catalog with many
freshman level classes, their meeting times, and the number of credit hours.
You will use this catalog to create a schedule you would be comfortable with for your freshman year of college.
Once you’ve created this schedule, you will come to me, and I will use a random number generator to assign you mock grades for each class
You will then need to calculate your GPA
The Skill you Need Calculating Weighted Mean:
This means sum
Multiply each data value by the
weight (w * x) then add all of these together
Add together all of the weights
(credits per class)
