Is it possible to have formulas/calculations in Qualtrics for text entry answers? For instance, I want instructors to enter a grade for each student in a lab (student 1: 89; student 2: 90) then at the bottom I'm hoping to get the % that score above a certain number. Do I have to gain JavaScript knowledge or is this just not possible? Sorry - complete novice here so I appreciate any guidance. Also, if there are any great courses for learning JavaScript that you've found helpful I'd love to know where to start. TIA. :)

Yes, it is possible to do calculations on values in text entry fields if the values are numeric. To dynamically display the result on the same page as the text entry question(s) you must use JavaScript.
w3schools.com has tutorials on html, css, JavaScript, and jQuery.
