How to read these numbers
- Workload — total hours/week including lecture, assignments, and exam prep.
- Difficulty (1–5) — conceptual rigor and pace, not just hours.
- Median grade — the middle student's final letter; mean GPAaverages everyone's grade points.
- % earning A — share of students finishing with A+, A, or A−.
- Comparisons are against this subject's average, so you can tell whether a number is high for the discipline.
