Help me figure this out

Specializes in Critical Care Nurse.

Today was my final day in one of summer courses. The professors does her grading in an alphabetical grading scale. We were given our quizzes, write-ups, and final presentations in an alphabetical grading format. The point of this post is to see if anyone can help me figure out my average grade. I know the professor will soon post it next week, but I'm overly anxious to see what I've received.

My grades are: A, A+, A-, A-, A, A, F

write-ups, quizzes, sketchbook, and presentations are 25% each of our grades.

I'm only looking for an estimation of my average grade. Off topic, the "F" was on a pop-up quiz on terms I didn't know as well. We only had 4 questions. I felt awful flunking it.

Not enough information to help you. You list 4 parts that make up your grades, but list 7 grades. Where does each grade belong? You have no tests?

All of the details and grading criteria should have been outlined in the course syllabus. This would have included information on how each activity (presentations, projects, quizzes, participation, etc.) is weighted to determine the final grade.

How can they each be worth 25% of your grade if quizzes and write-ups are combined. Are quizzes and write-ups worth 50% of grade and sketchbook and presentation worth 25% each?

You have only had 2 quizzes the entire semester and one of the quizzes was 4 questions? Do you have any tests?

The syllabus says everything is 25% each. The professor mentioned yesterday that write-ups are combined with quizzes. I'm assuming that would make write-ups and quizzes 50%. I am not for certain. I am confused about it all, I just wanted hopefully gain clarity, if all possible; so that I can figure out my average grade. Furthermore, the professor has never posted our grades in the grade module, she simply marks papers with letter grades. However, she did say that she would post average grades on next week.

To answer your question, we've only had two quizzes the rest were write-ups, PowerPoint presentation, and sketchbook as listed above.
