The registrar's own records: 124 grades over 5 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, and term averages across those 5 terms ran 3.50 to 3.98.

Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A+ 8 · 6.5%
  • A 62 · 50.0%
  • A- 36 · 29.0%
  • B+ 11 · 8.9%
  • B 1 · 0.8%
  • B- 3 · 2.4%
  • C+ 1 · 0.8%
  • F 2 · 1.6%
  • I 2 of 126

Percentages are of the 124 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I).

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.

In Springs

Has not run in Spring in the 4 Springs dibs holds records for, back to Fall 2021. 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.

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

Lecture, two hours; discussion, two hours. Introduction to different conceptualizations of globalization and their relationship to educational processes and learning in contemporary societies. Discussion of several concepts and theoretical lenses as basis for approaching and understanding how dialectics of global and local are affecting educational systems and learning over lifespans. Letter grading.
