The registrar's own records: 53 grades over 3 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
Every one of those terms is a summer session, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.73 to 3.93.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 11 · 20.8%
- A 25 · 47.2%
- A- 10 · 18.9%
- B+ 4 · 7.5%
- B 1 · 1.9%
- B- 1 · 1.9%
- C 1 · 1.9%
Percentages are of the 53 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes.
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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Spring 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MANVILLE, MICHAEL K reviews ↗ | 3.81 | 3.81 | 38 | 2 | 89% | - | not teaching it |
| TILLY, CHRISTOPHER C reviews ↗ | 3.80 | 3.80 | 15 · | 1 | 80% | - | not teaching it |
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 comes first
