SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the Grade Point Average (GPA) using a weighted average method. A student received grades of A, C, A, A, and B, with corresponding credit hours of 1, 6, 3, 1, and 3. The quality points assigned to the grades are A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0. The computed GPA is approximately 2.93, derived from the formula GPA = (1*4 + 6*2 + 3*4 + 1*4 + 3*3) / (1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3).
