The Completed Work average, which is found in summaries and reports, is calculated in the same way as the student’s Overall average except that assignments with scores that count as missing and scores of zero (which typically indicate missing work) are omitted. If a student has no scores that count as missing nor zero scores, then the Overall average (assuming that terms have not been combined) and the Completed Work average will be identical. Since missing scores and zeros can have a large, negative impact on a student’s Overage average, the Completed Work average can be useful in assessing student capabilities and in motivating students to complete work.
