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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARBABZADAH, NUSHIN | 3.72 | 3.72 | 190 | 2 | 81% |
| JUSKO, JAMES ANDREW | 3.54 | 3.52 | 72 | 1 | 60% |
| BIAGIOLI, MARIO | 3.46 | 3.41 | 45 | 2 | 60% |
“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.
