we do not do it like that. sometimes the project is done in 11th grade, and E is in 12th grade. (our 5pt students do F in 11th.) and the 5 book reports are done over 3 years, and each one is part of the semester grade when it was done. so they must be calculated separately and put in as 30%. that is why i thought they should be specifically mentioned.
