The registrar's own records: 84 grades over 3 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.95 to 3.96.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 39 · 46.4%
- A 37 · 44.0%
- A- 6 · 7.1%
- B 2 · 2.4%
Percentages are of the 84 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes.
How the non-letter outcomes are counted
They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

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.

From the registrar's catalog
Seminar, three hours. Students are helped to define their public voice, pitch and advocate for themselves and others, build confidence, manage negative self-talk, and find true life balance and peace. Study lays the foundation for mastering personal and public communication in various contexts, from daily interactions and navigating the industry to media and social media. Students learn to achieve emotional balance, set boundaries, and effectively advocate for themselves and others. They master the art of pitching their vision and the goals of others, and deliver TED-level talks in any setting, whether intimate or to the masses. They gain the skills to secure the job, maintain a positive mindset, and eliminate chronic stress perceptions. Students are equipped to get ahead, be heard, nourish themselves, and strengthen their energy for navigating the inner and outer worlds they all encounter every day. Letter grading.
