A student of the author earned grades of B, C, B, A, and D ....

A student of the author earned grades of $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{A},$ and $\mathrm{D} .$ Those course had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: $3,3,4,4,$ and $1 .$ The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows $A=4$; $B=3$; $C=2$; $D=1$; $F=0$. Compute the grade point average (GPA) and round the result with two decimal places. If the Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or greater, did this student make the Dean's list?

Key Concepts

Dean's List Criteria

Dean's List Criteria are the academic standards set by an institution to recognize students with outstanding academic achievement, often defined by a minimum GPA threshold. In this case, attaining a GPA of 3.00 or greater is required to be eligible for the Dean's List.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

GPA is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance. It is calculated by dividing the sum of the quality points earned by the sum of the credit hours attempted. This metric is used by educational institutions to assess overall performance and compare different courses with varying credit values.

Weighted Average

A weighted average is a type of mean where each component contributes proportionally based on its significance—in this case, the credit hours of each course. Instead of treating all data points equally, this method accounts for the greater impact of courses with more credit hours on the overall GPA.

Credit Hours

Credit hours represent the weight or value of a course, indicating its importance or the amount of time devoted to it. They are used to scale the quality points earned in a course, and courses with more credit hours have a larger effect on the cumulative grade point average.

Quality Points

Quality points are the numerical values assigned to letter grades. Each grade, such as A, B, C, etc., is associated with a specific number of points (for example, A=4, B=3, etc.). These points are multiplied by the credit hours of the course to determine the total contribution of that course towards the GPA.

Rounding

Rounding is the process of reducing the number of decimals in a number. For GPA calculations, the result is typically rounded to two decimal places to provide a simplified and standardized representation of a student's performance.
