: How is the total on the Grades page calculated?
algorithm:
1. find out which types of grades (hw, proj, etc) exist thus far
2. divide percentage for each type by no of grades for that type
3. scale percentages up to accomodate missing types of grades
4. multiply individual scores by percentages and add
yes, its a bit shaky to comprehend until u get all your grades - but its one way in which to generalize the calculations so that it means something useful at any point in time ...
