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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAO, EDWARD XIANG reviews ↗ | 3.76 | 3.76 | 481 | 8 | 89% | average | 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.
