AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the credit hour system and key academic metrics such as GPA, SGPA, and cumulative grade point average. GPA, or Grade Point Average, is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours taken. Each letter grade corresponds to a numerical value, with A being 4 points, B 3 points, C 2 points, D 1 point, and F 0 points. The example provided illustrates this calculation, showing how grades and credit hours for different courses contribute to the overall GPA. Quality points are derived from multiplying the grade value by the credit hours for each course, emphasizing the importance of both grades and course units in determining academic performance.

Physics news on Phys.org
A grade point is about the number of hours per week that a class meets for instruction during an 18 week semester. An assessment mark of 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 correspond to letter grades of A, B, C, D, F. Grade Point Average is the (trouble expressing this properly) assessment mark for each hour divided by the total number of grade points.

An example will clarify what I mean.
NameOfCourse01 is 3 units; NameOfCourse02 is 5 units.
You earn C for Course01, and earn A for Course02. Total units is 3+5=8.
Grades earned gave you 3*3 + 5*4 = 9 + 20 = 29,
so for this semester, GPA is 29/8 (do the arithmetic, get 3 point something...)
 
What I should have said is grade points are the letter grade as a value multiplied by the number of units; so in my example above, 29 grade points.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
