An automated tool exists that allows students attending a specific Ohio university to estimate their cumulative grade point average (GPA). This tool uses the university’s grading system and credit weighting to project a student’s overall academic performance based on anticipated or past grades. For example, a student can input their existing course history and potential grades for current courses to calculate a projected GPA.
The utilization of such a tool provides several advantages. It enables students to track their academic progress, understand the impact of individual course grades on their overall GPA, and plan their coursework strategically to achieve their desired academic standing. Historically, GPA calculations were performed manually, making them time-consuming and prone to error. The automated tool streamlines this process, offering accuracy and efficiency.
