The registrar's own records: 341 grades over 10 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 10 terms ran 2.76 to 3.78.
- A+ 86 · 25.2%
- A 91 · 26.7%
- A- 43 · 12.6%
- B+ 31 · 9.1%
- B 29 · 8.5%
- B- 18 · 5.3%
- C+ 13 · 3.8%
- C 9 · 2.6%
- C- 7 · 2.1%
- D+ 2 · 0.6%
- D 3 · 0.9%
- D- 3 · 0.9%
- F 6 · 1.8%
- P 14 of 358
- I 3 of 358
Percentages are of the 341 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) 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.

“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.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before LING 103. dibs has read a class page for every course in it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
In Falls
Ran in 5 of the last 5 Falls.
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 Fall 2026
You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.
Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 5 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

4 discussions, none open. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.
This limit is on the class, so it applies to all 4 discussions below.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 37 and 47 a term over 8 terms, summer excluded, most recently 38 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
