What is inside that record

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 4 terms ran 3.80 to 4.00.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

Percentages are of the 40 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: 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.

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.
