Method
- Sources
- Every figure comes from grade data a university published itself, or released in response to a request under a state public-records law. Each school page lists its sources with links and the date each was retrieved. Course and term rows link to the source they came from.
- Grade groups
- A combines A+, A and A−. B combines B+, B and B−. C, D and F follow the same rule. W counts withdrawals. Other covers pass/fail, incomplete and any mark the registrar reported outside those groups.
- Small sections
- Sections with fewer than 10 students are not shown and are not counted in any total, to protect individual students.
- A rate
- A rate is the number of A grades divided by all students reported, including W and Other. Totals are summed across sections before dividing. Average GPA is weighted by students and shown only where the registrar reported it.
- What it does not mean
- A high A rate does not mean a class is easy, or that it is good. Grading reflects the students who enrolled, the material, the department's policy and the term. Use these numbers as one input among several.

If a figure does not match the source, say which school, course, instructor and term. Reports are read by a person.
