Case Study Grade Calculator

Business courses grade on a mix that rarely matches a normal exam-heavy class - class participation, case write-ups, a group project, and a final exam, each at their own weight. Enter yours to see your current grade, correctly ignoring categories not graded yet instead of treating them as zero.

Why participation and cases get real weight

Case-method courses are graded to reward showing up prepared to every session, not just performing on a final - cold calls and case write-ups are assessed continuously, and participation weights of 20-30% are common even at schools that otherwise lean heavily on exams. Because that grade accrues gradually across the term, a mid-semester estimate is only useful if it correctly leaves out categories that haven't been graded yet (a not-yet-scored final exam should not count as a zero) - which is exactly what this calculator does, dropping any category with no average entered from both the numerator and denominator.
