In math 115, a 4 unit course, Timothy Titan received a “B”. If you look at the table you can see that a 4 unit “B” is assigned 12 grade points. This is reflected on his transcripts. Also, notice that for all of his “F” grades he receives 0 grade points. Timothy Titan also received 3 grade points for his “D” in Physics 120, which is a 3 unit course. If we add all his grade points (12+3=15 grade points) you will see that he received a total of 15 grade points.
