Description
remainingAverage = (weightedTotal-removedScore*removedCredits)/(credits-removedCredits).
Scoring rules combine points, item weights, boundaries and policies for omission, extra credit or missing items. A computed mark is meaningful only under those explicit rules; applying a rule does not establish its fairness or official status.
remainingAverage = (weightedTotal-removedScore*removedCredits)/(credits-removedCredits).
When to use this tool
Use Course Credit Weighted Drop One Term when checking one supplied scoring contribution or policy boundary.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter weightedTotal, credits, removedScore, removedCredits. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read remainingAverage. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative removedCredits and credits > removedCredits. remainingAverage = (weightedTotal-removedScore*removedCredits)/(credits-removedCredits).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| weightedTotal | Prior sum of score times credit, not prior average. | Required. Finite number. |
| credits | Credits | Required. Finite number. |
| removedScore | Removed Score | Required. Finite number. |
| removedCredits | Removed Credits | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| remainingAverage | Remaining Average | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- weightedTotal is a prior sum of score-times-credit, not the prior average. No score range, official exclusion policy or transcript validity is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the complete approved rubric and score record for an official outcome, and examine measurement quality separately.
