How it's worked out

Needed on final = (Target − Current × (1 − Final weight)) ÷ Final weight, everything as decimals. “Current” is your weighted average on the part of the course already graded.

If your current average isn't obvious because items have different weights, add up (mark × weight) for each graded item and divide by the total weight graded so far. Or upload the syllabus to SyllaBuddy and ask it; it has the weights.

Buddy already knows your weights. Just ask it.
