1) What is Plagiarism ?

   - plagiarism is someone taking someone else's work or ideas without use the original credit author and say it from their own ideas.

• Ask your lecturer
• Plan your paper
• Write some notes

   - Writing 

• Know how to paragraph
• Evaluate your resources  
• Include a reference page

What is CGPA ?

  - CGPA ( Cumulative Grade Point Average refers to overall GPA in every semester, which includes dividing the number of quality  points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hour. 

Letter Grade	Percent Grade	4.0 Scale
A+	90-100	4.00
A	80-89	4.00
A-	75-79	3.67
B+	70-74	3.33
B	65-69	3.00
B-	60-64	2.67
C+	55-59	2.33
C	50-54	2.00
C-	47-49	1.67
D+	44-46	1.33
D	40-43	1.00

E	30-39	0.67
F	0-29	0.00

ACTIVITY 1 

1.      Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester: 

Course and Grade (1st Semester)	Course Point Average
Comparative Animal Physiology: 3 credits, earned grade of B+	3.33 x 3 = 9.99
Biochemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of C-	1.67 x 4 = 6.68
Integrated Physiology Lab: 1 credit, earned grade of A	4.00 x 1 = 4
Asian Civilization I: 3 credits, earned grade of C-	1.67 x 3 = 5.01
Ecology: 3 credits, earned grade of A	4.00 x 3 = 12
Korean I: 3 credits, earned grade of B	3.00 x 3 = 3
Total Number of Credits =	3 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 17
Total Points Earned =	9.99 +6.68 + 4+ 5.01 + 12 + 9 = 46.68
GPA =	46.68 ÷ 17 = 2.75

2. Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in Chemistry.

     3.00 x 4 = 12.00   

     Total points =   46.68 - 6.68 + 12.00 = 52.00

     GPA =  52.00 ÷ 17   

              = 3.06

3. What is the different in GPA ?

     3.06 - 2.75 = 0.31

    her GPA will increase from 2.75 to 3.06

4.      Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester: 

Course and Grade (2nd Semester)	Course Point Average
Cell Biology: 4 credits, earned grade of B+	3.33 x 4 = 13.32
Organic Chemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of B	3.00 x 4 = 12.00
Intro Physics I: 4 credits, earned grade of C	2.00 x 4 = 8.00
Writing in Biology: 3 credits, earned grade of C	2.00 x 3 = 6.00
Public Speaking: 3 credits, earned grade of A-	3,67 x 3 = 11.01
Total Number of Credits =	4 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 18
Total Points Earned =	13.32 + 12 + 8 + 6 + 11.01 = 50.33
GPA =	50.33 ÷ 18 = 2.80

5.    What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+? 

    Cell Bio = 4 x 1.00 

                   = 4.00

    Total points earned = 50.33 - 13.22 + 4.00

                                     = 41.01

    GPA = 41.01

              18

              =  2.28

6.   What is the difference in GPA? 

    2.80 - 2.28 = 0.52

      The GPA of of Amelia decrease from 2.80 to 2.28

7.     What is the difference in CGPA?  

     CGPA = 46.68 + 50.33

                              18 + 17

                = 2.77 

                                                                           

     CGPA = 46.68 + 41.01

                                18 + 17

e       = 2.77 - 2.51

         = 0.26

d

8   8.   What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the 2^nd semester if her CGPA          falls below 2.50 in the 1^st semester?  

 - Amelia have to achieve at least B in every subject, she took in second semester
