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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BONESHO, CATHERINE E | 3.49 | 3.49 | 312 | 3 | 69% |
| COONEY, KATHLYN M | 3.36 | 3.34 | 75 | 2 | 64% |
“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.
