This document goes through some specific scenarios as described on the Quality Points Calculation Formulas page.
Percentage = grade entered by the teacher for the grading period
Grade = based on the percentage, this is determined from the Grade Determination Scale for Quarter & Final Grades
Quality Points = using the same Grade Determination Scale for Quarter & Final Grades scale, the quality points earned is determined by where the grade percentage falls on the scale
QP Calculation = use the appropriate formula from the table at the top of this page, depending on how the course is set up
