The registrar's own records: 1,418 grades over 11 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 209 · 14.7%
- A 1,209 · 85.3%
- P 7 of 1,426
- S 1 of 1,426
Percentages are of the 1,418 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and satisfactory (S).
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.
