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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JOHNSON, MARK C | 3.73 | 3.75 | 131 | 4 | 88% |
| LAWRENCE, GAVIN | 3.22 | 3.17 | 75 | 2 | 44% |
| RESCORLA, MICHAEL ARTHUR | 3.70 | 3.80 | 21 | 1 | 81% |
“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.
