Frequently asked questions

What if it shows >100%?
It means your target isn't achievable without extra credit. Lower your target or talk to your instructor.
What does negative mean?
You can hit your target even with 0% on the final — congrats, you've already secured it.
Does it work for any grading scheme?
Any percentage-weighted scheme. For category-weighted (homework 30%, tests 70%), reduce them to a current grade first.
