Default they way you get your final grade

In school teachers sometimes add up all your scores and average them to give you a final grade, while sometimes they assign certain groups of scores certain ratios to get the final grade, such as quiz 20% lab 50% and project 30%. Is there a name for this method? Thanks.

As a teacher, I'd call it a marking scheme, or grading, but that is for the people giving the grades.

It's 'weighted grading'

Google those words for further info.
