Calculate Absences

Forgive  X  Absences

"X" represents the number of absences a student is allowed to have before a grade penalty occurs.

Score Proportionately

The grade will be calculated based on either the total number of class meetings, or the number of meetings attended.

Example:

A course has 30 class meetings and Student A was marked Absent for 2 class meetings.
Student A was marked "Present" for 28 out of 30 class meetings.
Student A's Attendance grade is calculated:

28/30 = 93.33%.

Student A's Attendance grade is 93.33.

Deduct Percentage Points per Absence

A number of percentage points per absence will be deducted from the student's Attendance grade once the number of forgiven absences has been reached.

Example:

Instructor A has set for 0 absences to be forgiven.
Instructor A's Attendance Grade Item is worth 10 points.
Instructor A sets 10 percentage points to be deducted per absence.
Student B was marked Absent for 2 class meetings, so they will lose 10% points per absence.

2 absences x 10% penalty per absence = 20% points lost
20% points lost x 10 Grade Item points  = 2 lost Attendance points.
10 Grade Item points – 2 lost points = 8 points out 10 for the Attendance Grade.
