The registrar's own records: 348 grades over 11 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
4 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 11 terms ran 3.78 to 4.00.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 57 · 16.4%
- A 246 · 70.7%
- A- 30 · 8.6%
- B+ 11 · 3.2%
- B 3 · 0.9%
- D 1 · 0.3%
Percentages are of the 348 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.

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 3 courses long before PSYCH 131. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for PSYCH 131 in Summer Session C 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for PSYCH 133B, PSYCH 133E, and PSYCH 133G, 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.
