Final Score Calculation Logic

  • Assignment Score = Average of best 8 out of 12 weekly Quizzes Programming Assignment score -= AVerage of best 8 out of 12 Exam Score = 50% of Certification Exam Score out of 100
  • Final Score(Score on Certificate)= 50% of Exam Score +25% programming Assignment + 25% of Assignment Score NOTE: A1-A12 are Weekly Quizzes and A13-A24 programming assignment average in a week
