What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them.

Counts are out of 83 recorded outcomes. These are non-letter grades and do not have a GPA.
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.
Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
From the registrar's catalog
Seminar, two hours. Teaching assistants (TA) are supported while becoming more effective and reflective teachers. Focus on how to create student-centered, inclusive learning experiences. Study of theory (relationship between teaching and learning), research (what we know about how people learn), and logistics (how this actually happens for students). Students gain understanding of serving as TA in education (e.g., departmental policies, responsibilities to students, how/where to get additional support, etc.). Students have opportunities to apply (in their own sections) what they learn, to reflect collaboratively on their ongoing TA experiences, and to learn from experienced TAs. S/U grading.
