Exploratory visualization of UCLA grade data (2021-2025). A rough ability adjustment using transfer-admit GPA is available, but the primary view does not control for student preparedness, course mix, or workload. Methodology in the GitHub repository.

Adjust for student abilityUses transfer-admit GPA as a rough proxy. Majors with higher-GPA admits are penalized, reflecting that low course GPAs are more notable when admit GPAs are high. Note: transfer GPA also reflects pre-transfer course difficulty, not just ability. Details

Professors by Average GPA (Within Department)
Important caveats: This comparison reflects average GPA of courses taught, not teaching quality. Lower GPA may reflect course difficulty (e.g., required weed-out courses), student population, or department norms, not instructor effectiveness. Comparisons are within department only; professors with 10+ class sections taught are included. Use for exploratory context only.
