Both grades and GPA are very important. If you get good grades, your GPA will be high. The higher your GPA, the higher your scholarship level. When going abroad, foreign schools may have requirements for your previous GPA, and students with higher GPA will be given priority under the same conditions; If you take the second major, you will generally have requirements for the GPA of the first major.
Meet certain requirements to qualify for the second major; A degree certificate generally has a minimum requirement for grade points, and a degree certificate will not be issued if it is lower than the requirement.
The university GPA is the average credit GPA. The quantity and quality of students' learning are measured by credits and grade points, and certain credits and grade points are taken as the standards for graduation and degree, and various educational specifications and flexible teaching management systems are implemented.
The calculation of GPA is to multiply the GPA of each course that students have taken, including the re-taken courses, by the credits of the course, and then divide it by the accumulated total credits. The GPA can be used as one of the comprehensive evaluation indexes of students' learning ability and quality.
Calculation and function of grade point;
The conversion method of average credits is to multiply the scores of various subjects by credits and then divide them by the total credits. The conversion of fraction and integral is as follows: 90- 100 integral = 4.0; 85-89 points = 3.7; 82-84 points = 3.3; 78-8 1 = 3.0; 75-77 points = 2.7; 72-74 points = 2.3; 68-7 1 = 2.0; 64-67 points =1.5; 60-63 points =1.0; Under 60 =0.
If you take three courses in one semester, you will get 3 credits (4 points) for English, 3 credits (2 points) for history and 3 credits (3 points) for physics. Then GPA is (4×3+3×2+3×3)÷9=3.
In order to make GPA accurately evaluate students' learning situation, the Academic Affairs Office also stipulates that all courses roughly conform to the normal distribution, and once again emphasizes that the excellent rate (above 85 points) should not exceed 20% in principle, and the unqualified rate (below 60 points) is 1%- 10%.
Before entering grades, the academic staff of each department should check the distribution of grades. If they deviate too far, they should submit their scores to the dean/director in charge of teaching in the department and ask the teachers to fine-tune the scores.
In addition, as a compulsory course for all students, the scores of general elective courses and public elective courses should be more in line with the distribution given by the school, which is particularly important for the fairness of GPA evaluation. Grade point is a necessary condition for most college graduate students to take exams. Generally speaking, you must have an average grade point average of 2.8 or above to participate in the graduate walk.
