GPA Calculator

Calculates your GPA

Environment

• Python (2.x or 3.x)

gpa-meta.csv

This is where you want to put down the information about your grades.
Some rules:

• AP credits that you earned for your college go right below ap,ap,ap
• Grades for each semester should come after semester indicator line (e.g. fall-2016,fall-2016,fall-2016)
• To add anything for reference but not for calculation, put a new line and add lines after the new line
  • Take a look at the example gpa-meta.csv
• It goes as course_department-course_number,course_credit_hours,letter_grade_earned
  • cs-125,3,b0
• Grade formating
  • b+: B Plus
  • b0: Regular B
  • b-: B Minus
  • There is neither adding 0.33 for A+ and F+, nor subtracting 0.33 for F-

diffs = {'+':0.33, '-':-0.33, '0':0.00}

• Extras

How-to

• Edit gpa-meta.csv accordingly
• Edit tech = {...} part to calculate your major (technical) courses separately
• Run python gpa-calculator.py
