Grade Calculator Challenge: Coding Fair Results with a Partner Class

Students join a short video call with the partner class, introduce themselves, and review the grade calculator requirements. In small groups they list the inputs, outputs, and grading rules they need.

Groups write pseudocode and a flowchart, then implement the C++ program with input validation, a configurable grading scale, and clear pass/fail output. They document each design choice as they go.

Groups send their calculator to the partner class, run the partner's program on shared test cases, and note logic errors and grading differences. They then use the feedback to fix and refine their code.

Groups demonstrate their calculator, share the testing evidence and design decisions, and explain how well it met the accuracy criteria. Students reflect on what the partner feedback changed.
