Percentages are of the 40 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and no-passes (NP).
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.
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.

From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour (when scheduled). Religion and ritual are fundamental components of social life, extending deep into human past. Earliest cities often made use of power of religion, with rulers and elites endowing religious architecture, and placing ritual centers at heart of urban realm. In modern times, however, religious places have been treated with more conflicted identity in cities, retaining some of their prominence in spatial realm while less-articulated with political power given expectation of secularism as dominant public mode in modern nation-states. Examination of power of religion as social, organizational, and political principle in both ancient and modern cities, focusing on four of world’s dominant living ritual traditions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism).
