dibs
You are looking at Winter 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 1,472 sections for Winter 2026, read about 1 month ago. Separately, it has finished 195 of the 3,572 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

the registrar has this letter grade only this term

The registrar's own records: 618 grades over 5 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 5 terms ran 3.85 to 3.92.

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

  • A+ 162 · 26.2%
  • A 285 · 46.1%
  • A- 131 · 21.2%
  • B+ 28 · 4.5%
  • B 8 · 1.3%
  • B- 3 · 0.5%
  • C- 1 · 0.2%
  • P 1 of 622
  • I 3 of 622

Percentages are of the 618 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and incompletes (I).

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.

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 NURSING 174. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for NURSING 174 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 NURSING 13 and NURSING 3, 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.

In Winters

Has not run in Winter in the 4 Winters dibs holds records for, back to Fall 2021. That is 4 years of grade records rather than the course catalog, so it says what has happened and not what the department will do next.

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; laboratory, three hours. Requisites: courses 3, 13. Designed to provide in-depth review and synthesis of physical assessment skills and knowledge covering lifespan. Individual study, use of audiovisual aids, physical assessment skills practice in laboratory, and required text are mandatory. Letter grading.

Sections in Winter 2026

dibs has not read Winter 2026 for this course, so it cannot say whether it runs. dibs reads the term you are enrolling in first and the rest a little at a time; the registrar's own listing is the answer until this one catches up.
