Your calculatuion is too strict: you forgot the oral exam, which is worth 20 percent. And so, if a sudent got a very low grade on the oral, which most of them don't, say 85, and then your 65, 55 and 45, his final grade would actually be 60!!! 85 of 20=16, 65 out of 27=17.55, 55 out of 26=14.3, 45 out of 27=12.15 So a student who actually failed on G and got a very loe grade on F would easliy end up with a 60. ----------------------------------------------- ** The ETNI Rag ** http://www.etni.org/etnirag/ Much more than just a journal ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
