The registrar's own records: 132 grades over 3 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 3 terms ran 3.90 to 3.94.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 79 · 59.8%
- A 38 · 28.8%
- A- 8 · 6.1%
- B+ 2 · 1.5%
- B 3 · 2.3%
- C+ 1 · 0.8%
- C 1 · 0.8%
Percentages are of the 132 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 | Winter 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOUKLAS, TEJAS ASHOK reviews ↗ | 3.91 | 3.91 | 106 | 3 | 94% | - | not teaching it |
| VELEZ RAMIREZ, DANIEL EDUARDO reviews ↗ | 3.92 | 3.95 | 26 | 1 | 96% | - | 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 4 courses long before MIMG 109BL. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for MIMG 109BL in Winter 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for LIFESCI 23L and LIFESCI 40, 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
Laboratory, six hours. Requisites: course 109AL, Life Sciences 40 or Statistics 13. Limited to Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics premajors and majors. Designed to provide students authentic, discovery-based research experience in life sciences. Investigation to be primarily computational in nature whereby students use bioinformatics or mathematical modeling software to interpret, expand, or refine datasets. Use of graphics software to prepare figures and illustrations for presentations, posters, reports, and websites (database entries). Research accomplishments discussed in weekly seminar-style meetings in which student groups create PowerPoint slides and formally present results to class. Production of team poster and final report describing entire research project required. Letter grading.
