They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Summer Session A 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JUNG, ALEXANDER reviews ↗ | 3.91 | 3.91 | 86 | 2 | 93% | - | not teaching it |

Why Predicted is not the Raw average
“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.
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.
