Grey bars are non-letter outcomes — P/NP, S/U, incompletes. They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted | Raw | n | Terms | A range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PALMER, AARON ZEFF | 3.51 | 3.53 | 148 | 3 | 59% |
| YIN, JUN | 3.17 | 3.16 | 120 | 2 | 46% |
| BAEUMLER, JOHANNES | 3.21 | 3.20 | 73 | 2 | 59% |
| NGUYEN, HUNG DANG | 2.87 | 2.75 | 46 | 2 | 24% |
“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department — so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
