The formula
weight = assignment points ÷ course points × 100 new grade = (grade × share so far + score × weight) ÷ (share so far + weight)
If your syllabus states percentage weights, enter the weight as points out of 100.
What to watch out for
The further through the course you are, the less one assignment moves the grade you already have.
