How Bunt calculates grades
How a student's final grade is built from individual grades.
Overview
Every grade belongs to a grade category. Bunt averages the grades within each category and weights the results to form the final grade.
Grade categories and weighting
This guide uses the following structure:
- Final grade
- Written (50%)
- Oral (50%)
The student receives one grade in Written and two grades in Oral.
Grade points run from 0 (very poor) to 15 (excellent). Bunt calls this point system the grading scheme.
Example 1: Calculation with the grading scheme only
Here you enter every grade directly as grade points.
Entered grades
| Grade category | Assessment | Grade points |
|---|---|---|
| Written | Test | 9 |
| Oral | Participation | 12 |
| Oral | Presentation | 8 |
Step 1: Average per category
Bunt averages all grades within each category.
| Grade category | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Written | 9 | 9 |
| Oral | (12 + 8) ÷ 2 | 10 |
Step 2: Weighted final grade
Each category contributes with its weighting.
| Grade category | Calculation | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Written | 9 × 50% | 4.5 |
| Oral | 10 × 50% | 5.0 |
| Final grade | 4.5 + 5.0 = 9.5 | 10 |
The final grade is rounded to whole grade points.
Example 2: Calculation with a grading scheme and a grading key
Here the Test is graded with a grading key. You enter the points achieved and Bunt converts them into grade points. The oral grades stay the same as in Example 1.
Grading key for the test
The grading key assigns a grade-point value to every achieved share.
| Achieved share | Grade points |
|---|---|
| 100% | 15 |
| 90% | 13 |
| 85% | 12 |
| 80% | 11 |
| 75% | 10 |
| 70% | 9 |
| ... | ... |
Entered values
| Grade category | Assessment | Entry | Grade points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written | Test | 17 of 20 points = 85% | 12 |
| Oral | Participation | direct | 12 |
| Oral | Presentation | direct | 8 |
Step 1: Average per category
| Grade category | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Written | 12 | 12 |
| Oral | (12 + 8) ÷ 2 | 10 |
Step 2: Weighted final grade
| Grade category | Calculation | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Written | 12 × 50% | 6.0 |
| Oral | 10 × 50% | 5.0 |
| Final grade | 6.0 + 5.0 = 11.0 | 11 |
