CLUSTER 10B
Data, Justice, and Society
This is a year, not a class
Clusters run across three quarters, fall, winter, then the spring seminar, and UCLA counts the credit on completing the yearlong cluster: four GE requirements and the Writing II requirement. Signing up for the first quarter is signing up for the year.
Dibs only reads Winter 2027, so the later parts show no sections here: that is this term, not the sequence ending. What you keep if you take only part of a cluster is a question for the Cluster Program, not something these numbers answer.

The registrar's own records: 320 grades over 2 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 2 terms ran 3.83 to 3.91.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 61 · 19.1%
- A 182 · 56.9%
- A- 49 · 15.3%
- B+ 18 · 5.6%
- B 6 · 1.9%
- B- 2 · 0.6%
- D 1 · 0.3%
- F 1 · 0.3%
Percentages are of the 320 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes.
How the non-letter outcomes are counted
They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

Why Predicted is not the Raw average
“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.
Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has read this course’s reviews and none of them say what kind of work it sets, so dibs has nothing to show rather than a guess. Read from 2 reviews 26 days ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for CLUSTER 10B in any term it holds, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, three hours; discussion, two hours. Requisite: course 10A. Limited to first-year students. Data-based computation (i.e., algorithms, artificial intelligence, predictive modeling) increasingly play a dominant role in shaping everyday experiences of culture and society. Data and data analytics define everything from social relations and public policy to juridical status and market logistics. Study pursues thinking about ethics and justice in a data-driven society but focus on concrete case studies. Students gain critical understanding of technology sector, and also learn of community-engaged models of deploying data skills for social justice. P/NP or letter grading.
