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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PETERSON, STEVEN | 2.94 | 2.92 | 78 | 2 | 33% |
| PETERSON, STEVEN M | 3.28 | 3.43 | 19 small sample | 1 | 53% |
“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.
