Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 3.06 GPA, 47.6% A/AB (n=534 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.09 GPA, 48.1% A/AB (n=572 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.13 GPA, 49.7% A/AB (n=457 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

Demonstrate knowledge of the basic functions of the major human organ systems, from the cellular level to the whole organism.
Describe why homeostasis is a central theme of physiology and how it relates to the function of each human organ system.
Integrate knowledge of how organ systems interact to regulate physiological processes in order to maintain homeostasis.
Apply knowledge of physiology to predict outcomes, and justify those predictions, when homeostasis is not maintained due to disease or experimental manipulation.
Develop critical and scientific thinking skills through the application of physiology knowledge in preparation for real-world situations and further educational settings.
Demonstrate effective collaboration and communicate with peers to achieve shared outcomes.

Approximate 80% prediction interval

About this estimate

The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 5 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.

The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

6 earlier forecasts · 0.20 GPA average error.

About this comparison

1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
