I hate marks. I hate looking at marks. I hate calculating marks. The thought of seeing a number below 90 on the report card scares me. To get into university, this was a necessity =(.

I have 3 bonus marks. They are applicable to specific assignment marks only, not as percentage. Since all assignments/tests/quizes are valued equally within a category, I have to do my best calculating the best possible uprise of my mark - which assignment I should apply them to.

Ironic isn’t it? That a homework assignment is worth so much of my term mark.

This took me about 5 minutes to calculate. I’ll remember to make an automatic grades generator next time.

And for you lucky year 2 bums who read this, you know where to stick your bonus marks to =)

// Edit. Marks adjusted. For some reason, Mr.C counted one of the quizes as a homework. Damn it that drops the highest mark percentage to .66%.
