Portuguese term or phrase: média harmônica
This line appears at the top of the transcript, on the side where the student's grades are listed. The grades are in letters--A,B,C,D and FF.

"Média Harmônica: 580.74"

I thought it might mean 'grade point average', but at the bottom there is a statement that says:

"Os resultados finais são dados em conceitos, não havendo correspondência numérica para interpretá-los."

The question has already been posted before, and the answer posted was 'grade average', but this conflicts with the statement above.

Also, it does not mean 'harmonic mean' in this context. (The question has already been posted before.)
