Aggregate Grading

Aggregate grading is a method used in institutions like universities to evaluate a student’s overall performance across multiple courses or assessments. Instead of judging each course separately, all grades are combined into a single, overall grade or score. This provides a comprehensive view of a student’s academic achievement, reflecting their consistency and progress throughout a program. For example, if a student does well in most subjects but has a few lower grades, the aggregate grading balances these to determine their overall standing. It ensures a fair assessment by considering the entire body of coursework rather than isolated performances.
