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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SUMAN, MICHAEL | 2.89 | 2.89 | 347 | 5 | 30% |
| SUMAN, MICHAEL WESLEY | 2.69 | 2.67 | 112 | 2 | 29% |
“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.
