The registrar's own records: 20 grades over 2 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 2 terms ran 3.44 to 3.94.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 3 · 15.0%
- A 8 · 40.0%
- A- 5 · 25.0%
- B+ 2 · 10.0%
- B 1 · 5.0%
- C- 1 · 5.0%
Percentages are of the 20 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 | Winter 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAO, LIANG reviews ↗ | 3.76 | 3.94 | 10 · | 1 | 100% | - | not teaching it |
| WILSON, JENNIFER LYNN reviews ↗ | 3.57 | 3.44 | 10 · | 1 | 60% | - | 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.
