摘要

GPA是衡量學生成績的重要尺度，不同的GPA演算法會對學生產生不同的激勵。本文比較了大陸地區通行的兩種演算法—北大GPA演算法與標準GPA演算法。通過建立了學生代理模型，分析出兩種演算法下不同類型學生的效用差異；並通過模擬總體學生的成績分佈，考量了不同演算法所導致的校園福利差異。本文結論表明：北大演算法更有助於微觀層面的公平和促進宏觀上校園整體福利，因而是實現高校多元化素質教育更好的舉措。

Through comparing the algorithm of Peking University with the traditional algorithm, this paper builds a Representative Student Model and analyzes the utility difference of different types of students under this two kinds of algorithm; and through simulating the distribution of total students' grade, this paper also examines the differentiation of school's welfare resulted from different kind of algorithm of GPA. The result of this paper shows that the algorithm of Peking University is more useful for promoting fairness, as well as more useful for improving the entire welfare of students.
