After assessing and evaluating quizzes, assignments, and final exams, instructors will incorporate them into their respective course's percentage grades based on their weights. For instance, a student studying the Organizational Leadership course obtained 83% in the quizzes held throughout the course, 87% in Assignment 1, 95% in Assignment 2, and 64% in the final proctored exam. Then, the instructor will combine the grades according to the weight of each assessment, as shown in the table below:

AssignmentPossible Points
Quizzes100
Assignment 150
Assignment 250
Proctored Final Exam100
