What is inside that record

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.89 to 4.00.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 57 · 50.0%
- A 41 · 36.0%
- A- 11 · 9.6%
- B+ 2 · 1.8%
- B 3 · 2.6%
- P 1 of 115
Percentages are of the 114 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P).
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.

What the work looks like
- 2 quizzes, said by 1 reviewer
- 2 papers, said by 1 reviewer
Read from 4 reviews about 1 month ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
In Springs
Has not run in Spring in the 3 Springs dibs holds records for, back to Fall 2022. That is 3 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 Fall 2024.
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.
From the registrar's catalog
(Same as Ethnomusicology M25.) Lecture, four hours; discussion, one hour. Development of world music or world beat, including its meaning and importance to contemporary culture as well as its history and impact. P/NP or letter grading.
