A General Linear Model Approach to Adjusting the Cumulative GPA.
Young, John W.
Journal of Research in Education, v2 n1 p31-37 Spr 1992
Uses the general linear model to develop an adjusted cumulative grade point average (GPA) that systematically models grading effects among courses. A validation study using 778 courses of 1,564 Stanford (California) University students shows an increase in predictability of the adjusted least-squares GPA over the unadjusted GPA. (SLD)
