The registrar's own records: 664 grades over 11 terms, Fall 2021 to Spring 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 11 terms ran 3.10 to 4.00.

Percentages are of the 664 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes. 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.
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
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 3 readings. 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 39 and 72 a term over 11 terms, summer excluded, most recently 61 in Spring 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.
