the registrar has this letter grade only this term
The registrar's own records: 58 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 3.68 to 3.81.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A 30 · 51.7%
- A- 18 · 31.0%
- B+ 9 · 15.5%
- F 1 · 1.7%
Percentages are of the 58 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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Spring 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRESCOTT-JOHNSON, TARA L reviews ↗ | 3.80 | 3.84 | 41 | 2 | 90% | very light | not teaching it |
| CHRISTENSEN, TAMAR S reviews ↗ | 3.60 | 3.47 | 17 · | 1 | 65% | heavy | not teaching it |
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 not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before ENGCOMP 3DX. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for ENGCOMP 3DX in Spring 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for ENGCOMP 2 and ENGCOMP 2I, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
(Formerly numbered 3DS.) Lecture, three hours. Enforced requisite: satisfaction of Entry-Level Writing requirement or course 2 or 2I (C or better). Investigation of difference and diversity through community-engagement, rhetorical techniques, and skillful argumentation that critically examine structures and institutions that promote asymmetrical power relations as well as responses of diverse groups to these inequalities. Off-campus/on-site community-engagement component is integrated with course materials and units, and it is sustained across the quarter, connecting community engagement experiences with academic learning through critical reflections, analytical writing, and research. Students write a minimum of 20 pages of revised prose that engages and responds to the complexities of the diverse groups under examination. Completion of course with grade of C or better satisfies Writing I requirement. Letter grading.
