CLUSTER 2CW
Building Climates: Special Topics
Needs a grade of C or better: C- does not count, and neither does a Passed grade.
This is a year, not a class
Clusters run across three quarters, fall, winter, then the spring seminar, and UCLA counts the credit on completing the yearlong cluster: four GE requirements and the Writing II requirement. Signing up for the first quarter is signing up for the year.
Dibs only reads Fall 2025, so the later parts show no sections here: that is this term, not the sequence ending. What you keep if you take only part of a cluster is a question for the Cluster Program, not something these numbers answer.

The registrar's own records: 144 grades over 1 term, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them.
- A+ 38 · 26.4%
- A 74 · 51.4%
- A- 13 · 9.0%
- B+ 7 · 4.9%
- B 5 · 3.5%
- B- 2 · 1.4%
- C+ 2 · 1.4%
- D 2 · 1.4%
- D- 1 · 0.7%
Percentages are of the 144 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.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for CLUSTER 2CW, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
