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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted | Raw | n | Terms | A range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAMANI, JOSHUA FRED | 3.42 | 3.43 | 95 | 1 | 62% |
| SOLON, MIKHAIL PIL | 3.17 | 3.09 | 35 | 1 | 40% |
| WANG, SHENSHEN | 3.50 | 3.59 | 20 | 1 | 60% |
“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.
