You are looking at Spring 2027. Enrollment for it has not opened, so these are the registrar's early listings. dibs holds 1,870 sections for Spring 2027, read 23 hours ago. Separately, it has finished 968 of the 3,473 courses on its own sweep list for this term. Terms nobody is enrolling in are swept one a night in rotation, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

LIFESCI 495

Preparation for College-Level Teaching in Life Sciences

2 units

Seminar.

Spring 2027: 1 section. Nothing here is open. The oldest of these readings was 23 hours ago.

Pass/no pass only, so there is no average to report.

Graded P/NP: 40 records over 9 terms.

In the A range

no letter grades in the record to count

D, F or W

no letter grades in the record to count

Taken pass/no pass

100% of those passed

The registrar's own records: Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them.

  • P 40 of 459
  • S 416 of 459
  • I 3 of 459

Percentages are of the 0 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), satisfactory (S), and incompletes (I). They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

By instructor

Predicted GPA, raw average, sample size, terms, A range and the workload reviewers reported for every instructor with a grade record in this course
Instructor Predicted GPA Raw n Terms A range Workload Spring 2027
DIXIE, KATIE LEE INGRAHAM reviews ↗ P/NP 0 · small sample 6 - - not teaching it

PARKER, HARRISON reviews ↗ P/NP 0 · small sample 1 - - not teaching it

“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.

dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast a class fills. For what a class is like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.

Reviews for LIFESCI 495

What comes first

dibs has not read a class page for LIFESCI 495, 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.

In Springs

Ran in 3 of the last 4 Springs.

From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.

From the registrar's catalog

dibs has not read the registrar's description for this course. It reads them for general education courses only, so this says nothing about the course. Any section below links out to the registrar, where the catalog text is, and that text is also where a prerequisite the structured list does not carry would be written.

Sections in Spring 2027

Seat counts as of . The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 28 and 67 a term over 9 terms, summer excluded, most recently 45 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Spring 2027

Read once so far, so there is no line to draw yet. A second reading is what turns this into a chart: courses come round within about three hours, and anything you watch every hour.
