The registrar's own records: 155 grades over 6 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 6 terms ran 3.75 to 3.98.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 56 · 36.1%

- B+ 10 · 6.5%
- B 3 · 1.9%

- C+ 1 · 0.6%
- D 1 · 0.6%
Percentages are of the 155 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.

Based on 10 reviews; source checked 6 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 2 courses long before PSYCH 186D. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for PSYCH 186D in Summer Session A 2026 and a department can change what it requires. dibs has read a class page for every course in it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
