- Cite. Citation or citing is one of the effective ways to avoid plagiarism. You may follow the document formatting guidelines (APA, MLS, CHICAGO) used by institutional research requests.
- Quoting. Citing a quote can be different then citing paraphrased material.
- Referencing. One of the most important ways to avoid plagiarism Is including a reference page of work cited.
Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)
Every final semester examination will be graded using Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average at the end of semesters course.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated in each semester scaled from 0 to 4.0 shown as below
In order to calculate and find our gpa weighted by credit hours, you can do steps shows below.
- Multiply each numeric Grade value by the numbers of credit the course allocated
- Add this values of number together
- Divide by the total number of credit you have registered

Activity 11 : Calculating Gpa
Extract 1 : Diagram below shows Amelia Ameer`s examination results. Calculate the gpa for Amelia Ameer on her first semester
- Comparative animal. Psychology = 3 (credit ) x 3.33 (Grade B+) = 9.99
- Biochemistry = 4 (credit) x 1.67 (Grade C-) = 6.68
- Integrated psychology lab= 1 (credit) x 4 (Grade A) = 4.0
- Asian civilization = 3 (credit ) x 1.67 (Grade C-) = 5.01
- Ecology = 3 (credit) x 4 (Grade A) = 12.0
- Korean = 3 (credit) x 3 (Grade B) = 9.00
Total ; 46.68[ total points]
17 [ total credit hour]
GPA [ 1ST SEM] = 2.75 |based on formula (diagram) above|

Extract 2 : what happen if Amelia Ameer had earned a B in Biochemistry?
- Comparative animal. Psychology = 3 (credit ) x 3.33 (Grade B+) = 9.99
- Biochemistry = 4 (credit) x 3 (Grade B) = 12.0
- Integrated psychology lab= 1 (credit) x 4 (Grade A) = 4.0
- Asian civilization = 3 (credit ) x 1.67 (Grade C-) = 5.01
- Ecology = 3 (credit) x 4 (Grade A) = 12.0
- Korean = 3 (credit) x 3 (Grade B) = 9.00
Total ; 52 [total points]

Extract 4 : Calculate Amelia Ameer`s 2nd semester GPA.
- Cell biology = 4 [ credit] x 3.33 (Grade B+) = 13.32
- Organic Chemistry = 4 (credit) x 3 (Grade B) = 12.00
- Intro Physics I = 4 (credit) x 2 (Grade C) = 8.00
- Writing in Biology = 3 (credit) x 2 (Grade C) = 6.00
- Public Speaking = 3 (credit) x 3.67 (Grade A- ) = 11.01
Total ; 50.33 [total points]

Extract 5 : What would happen if Amelia Ameer had earned a D in Cell Biology instead of a B+?
- Cell biology = 4 [ credit] x 1.00 (Grade D) = 4.00
- Organic Chemistry = 4 (credit) x 3 (Grade B) = 12.00
- Intro Physics I = 4 (credit) x 2 (Grade C) = 8.00
- Writing in Biology = 3 (credit) x 2 (Grade C) = 6.00
- Public Speaking = 3 (credit) x 3.67 (Grade A- ) = 11.01
Total ; 41.01 [total points]
