What does CWA mean in UNIVERSITIES

Cumulative Weighted Average (CWA) is a measure of performance that allows individuals to compare their grades over multiple courses or semesters. It takes into account the weights of each course and assigns it an appropriate weight when calculating the overall score for one's academic performance.

CWA is calculated by adding up the weighted grades from each course and dividing them by the total number of credits earned in those courses. The weight assigned to each grade will depend on whether it is a semester-long course or year-long course.

CWA enables individuals to accurately assess their progress in school by tracking their grades across different types of courses over semesters and/or years. This makes it possible to identify areas where improvements can be made in order to achieve higher academic success.

While Cumulative Weighted Average can provide an accurate picture of one's overall academic performance, this measure does not necessarily reflect the student's ability in specific subjects or topics within those courses. Therefore, other measures may need to be used in order to fully assess someone's abilities and strengths.

No, as CWA measures performance across multiple semesters/years, once someone has completed their studies, there is no way to improve their cumulative score since additional classes cannot be taken after graduation. However, if someone chooses to pursue further education such as continuing studies or postgraduate degree programs, their new scores would be taken into consideration when measuring their cumulative average score.
