The registrar's own records: 42 grades over 8 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
3 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 17 · 40.5%
- A 19 · 45.2%
- A- 6 · 14.3%
- P 492 of 536
- NP 2 of 536
Percentages are of the 42 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.

We live in period of extraordinary opportunity and challenge—in which breathtaking technological advances sit alongside breathtaking cynicism and corruption. Examination of how effective and inspiring leaders can lead in such environment, if it is possible to make difference and effect change in face of deep structural inequality, criteria that make effective leader, and if each of us bears within ourselves leadership potential. Exploration of past models of successful leadership and different models of present-day leadership, drawing on inspiring examples from social activism, politics, religion, law, philanthropy, and education. Students are encouraged to formulate their own models of leadership. Three to four day experiential learning opportunity in leadership development off campus. P/NP grading.
