Before generation
Use this calculator to show how point-denominator choices affect a course grade and to plan achievable recovery work. It does not decide whether work should be accepted or excused.

Transparent method
How the missing work grade impact calculator works
Zero scenario = earned ÷ (possible + missing). Recovery = (earned + missing × recovery rate) ÷ (possible + missing). Excused = earned ÷ possible. The recovery impact is the percentage-point difference between the zero and entered-recovery scenarios. Use it to prioritize work, then verify deadlines and policy with the educator.
- 01Before generation
Verify which points are already in the gradebook.
- 02During review
Compare scenarios and the assignment list.
- 03Before use
Agree on allowed recovery actions through the official course process.
How to interpret the result
Missing Work Grade Impact Calculator
Worked example
The example compares 372 of 450 graded points with 75 missing points. Recording zeros, recovering 70%, recovering 100%, and excusing the items produce separate visible scenarios.
Formula or methodology
Zero scenario = earned ÷ (possible + missing). Recovery = (earned + missing × recovery rate) ÷ (possible + missing). Excused = earned ÷ possible.
How to interpret the result
The recovery impact is the percentage-point difference between the zero and entered-recovery scenarios. Use it to prioritize work, then verify deadlines and policy with the educator.
Common mistakes
Do not enter assignments already counted in the gradebook denominator, mix category weights with points, or treat the excused scenario as permission.
Learning boundary
Only the official policy determines treatment
The calculator cannot authorize late work, reassessment, minimum grades, or excusal.
Review checklist

Can I model partial credit?
Enter the expected recovery percentage to compare a partial-credit scenario.
Does the tool change a grade?
No. It creates a browser-local planning report only.
