When you say we, do you literally mean "we" or do you send grades to to
a management package such as SSUI or SASI? If you are sending grades,
the yearly average is just an annoyance, you choose which terms to send
grades for.
If you mean you actually calculate the grades and report them using a GQ
form, you probably need to change something in your setup of gradequick
to use a calculation other than yearly. By setup, I mean the way the
program is installed on your network. You may need the assistance of
Jackson people for this.

Typically for the final grade, all grades entered are averaged using
some sort of formula. When you tried weighting terms, I think what
messed up your calculation was the weighting of a "test" along with
those terms. You in essence had 3 terms in the grading period. I'm not
sure how well it would work.
Could you possibly explain what you would like to do with these grades?
That might help someone figure out your destination with how they have
gotten there.
