I have a 67 as a final grade for the year in my physics class my final exam counts as 10% if I get a 0 and just don't show up to my final will I fail the class for the year?
no you're not gonna fail with a 0% as your final you will get exactly 60 %
calculation:
(67.90)+(0.10)=60%
Depends on what is the lowest passing grade. Is it 60?
If you skip the final, with a low grade going into the final, few teachers would consider any mercy points.
To determine whether you will fail the class for the year, we need to consider the weightage of your final exam and how it affects your overall grade.
First, let's calculate the contribution of your final exam to your total grade. Since the final exam counts as 10% of your final grade, we can calculate its weightage by multiplying your current grade (67%) by the weightage (10%):
Weighted final exam grade = 67% * 10% = 6.7%
Next, let's calculate the remaining weightage (90%) from your coursework throughout the year:
Weighted coursework grade = 67% * 90% = 60.3%
Now, we can calculate your overall grade by adding the weighted final exam grade and the weighted coursework grade:
Overall grade = Weighted final exam grade + Weighted coursework grade = 6.7% + 60.3% = 67%
Based on these calculations, if you don't show up for your final exam and receive a grade of 0, your overall grade for the year will still remain at 67%. Therefore, you will not fail the class if you choose not to take the final exam. However, please note that this is solely based on the information provided and the grading system used by your physics class. It is important to double-check with your teacher or refer to the class syllabus to confirm the specific grading policies and requirements.
