What the reported grades show
E 316K (MASTERWORKS OF LIT: AMERICAN) has 15,137 reported letter grades across 10 semesters in this export, from Summer 2011 to Summer 2014. Combining those grades gives a mean of 3.07 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 E 316K, 3,128 of the 15,137 letter grades were A, or 20.7%. Another 2,511 were A−.

The combined D+, D, D− and F share is 4.8%. These figures help show the shape of the historical outcomes alongside the overall mean.
