The registrar's own records: 2,121 grades over 15 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

2 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 15 terms ran 1.01 to 3.23.

Historical grades for XU, PETER, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A 34 · 15.7%
  • A- 15 · 6.9%
  • B+ 26 · 12.0%
  • B 33 · 15.2%
  • B- 21 · 9.7%
  • C+ 19 · 8.8%
  • C 18 · 8.3%
  • C- 17 · 7.8%
  • D 6 · 2.8%
  • D- 2 · 0.9%
  • F 12 · 5.5%
  • P 2 of 220
  • NP 1 of 220

Percentages are of the 217 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and no-passes (NP).

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.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 4 courses long before MATH 131A. 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

Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Requisites: courses 32B, 33B. Recommended: course 115A. Rigorous introduction to foundations of real analysis; real numbers, point set topology in Euclidean space, functions, continuity. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 2026

Choose an open discussion to enroll; an open lecture alone does not mean a seat is available.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 5 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.

What a flat run means, and where a line starts

Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

Checked 168 of the 619 hours with hourly history, 27%. No reading was recorded in 451 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 21 Sep, which is the other 848 of 1467 plotted.160 of 160 enrolled at the newest reading, 30 minutes ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 17 Oct 17:02, 160 to 160. Checks are not continuous monitoring. Changes between checks may be missed.
How readings and alerts work

Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
