The registrar's own records: 30 grades over 1 term, 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.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 6 · 20.0%
- A 10 · 33.3%
- A- 7 · 23.3%
- B+ 3 · 10.0%
- B- 1 · 3.3%
- F 3 · 10.0%
- P 3 of 33
Percentages are of the 30 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P).
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.
There are no BruinWalk reviews of this course on record as of 26 days ago, so nobody has told dibs what kind of work it sets. That is dibs holding no reviews at all, and not reviewers who wrote without mentioning the work.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for ENGL 32 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, one hour. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the study of natural and built environments often involved visions of the future along with proposals for social and political change: narratives and images of what better futures might look like, and how worse futures might be avoided. Implicitly or explicitly, these narratives of future environments are enmeshed with underlying assumptions about what the best social order would be, how a more just society might function, and how human communities should relate to nonhuman species and systems. Focus on connection between stories about urban, ecological, and planetary futures; technologies involved in their creation, use, and maintenance; and underlying assumptions that shape them. Students apply narrative analysis and reasoning about social justice to stories about future environments and techno-social innovation. P/NP or letter grading.
