Share of courses described from the left. Percent of all courses in the group whose Framing reading is leftward: the description frames its subject one-sidedly to the left.
Counted: all courses in the group, including N and I. No interval is published for this number.
Readings are of catalog description text, not of teaching, syllabi or individual professors.
Right-framed courses are almost absent (33 of 124,290); this run cannot tell catalog reality from model sensitivity. Compare schools with adjusted_ratio, not this raw share, because department mix differs.
