EXERCISE WEEK 5 ( UED102 )

GPA WORKSHEET
1) Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester :

Course and grade ( First Semester ) Course point average

Comparative Animal Physiology: 3 credits, earned grade 3 x 3.33 = 9.99
of B+
Biochemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of C- 4 x 1.67 = 6.68
Integrated Physiology Lab: 1 credits, earned grade of A 1 x 4.00 = 4
Asian Civilization I: 3 credits, earned grade of C- 3 x 1.67 = 5.01
Ecology: 3 credits, earned grade of A 3 x 4.00 = 12
Korean: I: 3 credits, earned grade of B 3 x 3.00 = 9
Total Number of Credits = 17
Total Points Earned = 46.68
GPA = 2.746

2. Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in

Chemistry.
- If Amelia had earned a B in chemistry,she will get 12 points in
Chemistry. The total points she earns is 52 and her GPA is 3.059.
3. What is the difference in GPA?
- On her first GPA, she got 2.746 while on her second GPA she got a
higher GPA which was 3.059 if she earns grade of B in Chemistry.
4. Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester:
Course and Grade (2nd Semester) Course Point Average
Cell Biology: 4 credits, earned grade of B+ 4 x 3.33 = 13.32

Organic Chemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of B 4 x 3.00 = 12

Intro Physics I: 4 credits, earned grade of C 4 x 2.00 = 8

Writing in Biology: 3 credits, earned grade of C 3 x 2.00 = 6

Public Speaking: 3 credits, earned grade of A- 3 x 3.67 = 11.01

Total Number of Credits = 18

Total Points Earned = 50.33

GPA = 2.796
5. What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+?
- Amelia will get 4 points for Cell Bio. The total points she earns is 41.01 and her GPA is
2.278.

6. What is the difference in GPA?

- On her fisrt GPA,she got higher GPA which is 2.796 while on her second GPA she got
lower GPA,which was 2.278 if she earns D in Cell Bio.

7. What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the 2nd semester if
her CGPA falls below 2.50 in the 1st semester?
1st semester = 17 credit X 2.746 = 46.682
2nd semester = 18 credit X 2.796 = 50.328
(35 credit) = (46.682 + 50.328)
35
= 97.01
35
CGPA = 2.772
