Discussions are indented under their lecture. You enroll in the discussion, so its status is the one that decides whether you get in — a lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

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.

“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.
