There is no evidence to indicate he deviated from the actual required <i>content</i> of the course, only that his <i>lecturing style</i> deviated from what the department wanted. (This is indicated by the department having reviewed and approved his final, among other things).<p>Also, I&#x27;ll repost what I said earlier: there is no evidence he gave out A&#x27;s more freely than other professors.<p>The grade distribution for one of Coward&#x27;s classes (16B) is available online for you to check: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;schedulebuilder.berkeley.edu&#x2F;explore&#x2F;courses&#x2F;SP&#x2F;2016..." rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;schedulebuilder.berkeley.edu&#x2F;explore&#x2F;courses&#x2F;SP&#x2F;2016...</a>. It shows his class average was a B-, whereas most other professors around the year he taught had a B or B+ average.
