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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NIEMANN, CHRISTOPH | 3.68 | 3.71 | 25 | 2 | 72% |
| SCHAEFFER, DEREK B | 3.61 | 3.60 | 22 | 2 | 68% |
“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.
