How this department is summarized
The Physics hub includes 48 undergraduate courses with reported letter-grade data. Its 3.30 average combines 146,174 letter grades, weighting each grade equally. A large course therefore contributes more than a small seminar.
The A share is 37.9%, counting A separately from A−. Course-level pages show the available semesters and syllabus sources. Historical grades do not establish workload or teaching quality.
