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.

| Instructor | Predicted | Raw | n | Terms | A range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SHIMA, KENNETH MASAKI | 3.86 | 3.88 | 80 | 2 | 89% |

| CURTIS, PAULA R | 3.69 | 3.62 | 12 small sample | 1 | 92% |
“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.
