Percentages are of the 52 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and no-passes (NP).
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.

What the work looks like
- Exams mentioned, no number given, said by 1 reviewer
Read from 2 reviews 26 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for ELTS 56 in any term it holds, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Whether regarding digital communication, mass transportation, climate change, or international war, the idea that individuals and communities have become interconnected is beyond doubt. Under these circumstances, consideration of what moral, ethical, socioeconomic, and political challenges are faced in the 21st century; how people understand themselves as citizens not only of one nation, but also of this simultaneously divided and shared world; and how European artists and thinkers have negotiated between patriotism and cosmopolitanism since antiquity, and their American counterparts in the 20th and 21st centuries. Interdisciplinary approach to the examination of cosmopolitanism, also known as global citizenship or world citizenship. This concept serves as a focal point for elucidating humanistic and social scientific inquiries into universal norms, patriotic sentiments, cultural and racial diversities, and empathic identifications with strangers in need. P/NP or letter grading.
