Example of score determination

Student Name Practicum Score (40%) Lecture score (60%) Final Score
Lorem ipsum Mid Exam  Practicum Final Exam Practicum Weekly score Mid Exam (40%) Final Exam (50%) Quizzes or assignment (10%) Practical score + lecture score

Final grade is shown in DNA (Daftar Nilai Akhir) issued by the Directorate of Education of ITB, and no additional names of students other than those listed.

The grading method for each courses considering several factors such as assignment (10-30%), practicum (20-30%), quiz (5-10%), mid exam (30-40%) final exam (30-40%), excursion (optional; 10-20%). The result is converted to index presented Below.

Student academic achievement is determined by the current Grade Point Average (current GPA; Nilai rata-rata (NR)), Grade Point Average (GPA; Indeks Prestasi (IP)), and cumulative Grade Point Average (cumulative GPA; Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK)). The current GPA of a student’s academic achievement reached in each semester is calculated by final score for the number of courses. GPA is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted, final grades of each course only will be taken into consideration. Cumulative GPA is the academic achievement of students achieved within a certain time on the basis of calculation of all grades of courses ever taken, including the grade of retaken courses, or be replaced by other courses in subsequent semesters.
