What the reported grades show
BCH 369 (Fundamentals of Biochemistry) has 18,273 reported letter grades across 36 semesters in this export, from Fall 2014 to Summer 2026. Combining those grades gives a mean of 3.34 on UT’s four-point scale. This is a count-weighted result: every reported letter grade contributes once to the course total, so larger reported groups have more influence than smaller groups. It is not an average of rounded semester GPAs.
In BCH 369, 6,518 of the 18,273 letter grades were A, or 35.7%. Another 3,660 were A−. Combining A and A− produces an A-range share of 55.7%, a different measure from the A-only figure at the top of the page. The distribution also records 168 F grades. The combined D+, D, D− and F share is 2.6%. These figures help show the shape of the historical outcomes alongside the overall mean.
The latest reported semester for BCH 369 is Summer 2026. Its 158 letter grades yield 3.48 average grade points and 52.5% A grades. Across semesters with letter grades, the reported mean ranges from 3.03 in Summer 2024 to 3.84 in Spring 2020. The largest reported letter-grade count is in Spring 2026, with 1,017 letter grades.
Within the BCH source group, the pooled undergraduate average is 3.38 across 32,775 letter grades and 13 courses. BCH 369 is 0.04 grade points below that pooled mean. This comparison combines different courses and student groups; it does not adjust for prerequisites, course level or selection into a class. Use the department hub to compare the underlying grade counts before interpreting that difference.
BCH 369 appears in Fall, Spring, Summer in the reported history. Fall accounts for the largest number of its reported letter grades (8,734). These are observed reporting seasons, not a promise about the next schedule. Check the catalog prerequisites and the syllabus for the exact section before registration; a past grade distribution does not describe an upcoming instructor’s assignments, attendance rules or assessment weights.
