Updated Example: 78% → Distinction

Example: Course 1 (4 credits, 80%), Course 2 (4 credits, 76%), Thesis (12 credits, 76%).
Weighted = (4×80 + 4×76 + 12×76) / (4+4+12) = (320+304+912)/20 = 1536/20 = 76.80% → Distinction (≥75%).

In previous version, 76.8% would be First Division; now correctly classified as Distinction.
