Percentages are of the 626 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and incompletes (I).
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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Fall 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAVETCH, DAVID S reviews ↗ | 3.32 | 3.31 | 345 | 8 | 46% | average | not teaching it |
| PATT, SHAWN SHYAMA reviews ↗ | 3.47 | 3.48 | 281 | 5 | 51% | light | 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.
