Grades

4.00

Average grade awarded in MCD BIO 194A. Not a student rating: this is what the grades were. i The mean of every letter grade the registrar has published for this course, pooled across every instructor who has taught it. It is not shrunk toward anything, because a course average cannot be pulled toward itself. Standard error 0.120.

The registrar's own records: 10 grades over 1 term, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

In Falls

Has not run in Fall in the 4 Falls dibs holds records for, back to Spring 2022. That is 4 years of grade records rather than the course catalog, so it says what has happened and not what the department will do next. dibs has no record of it in any quarter since Spring 2022.

From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.
