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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NATHANSON, DANIEL A | 3.47 | 3.47 | 1,056 | 8 | 54% |
| PATT, SHAWN SHYAMA | 3.50 | 3.50 | 445 | 4 | 51% |
“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.
