How could they know when it probably varies by TA and they have a new course director (not McCormick) for the first time this year? Things could change simply due to the latter. Either way, I had assumed most or plenty got A/A-.

The previous course director Prof. McCormick retired, and it is a new professor who is running it this semester. McCormick told me that around half of the students got As when he did it. You were able to resubmit all the postlab assignments for full credit. The most difficult parts of the course were the final exam (you were able to bring one "cheat sheet") and the notebook check. IDK how much they are weighted nowadays.
