The registrar's own records: 15 grades over 1 term, 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.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 15 · 100.0%
Percentages are of the 15 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
dibs has not read a class page for EDUC 295 in any term it holds, 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.
From the registrar's catalog
Seminar, four hours. Analysis of intellectual production of Paulo Freire linked to social context in which it took place. Study of his life and work in five phases: Brazilian Experience (1921 to 1964); Chilean Experience, where he published Education as Practice of Freedom and Pedagogy of Oppressed, as well as other lesser-known works, while also devoting most of this period to empirical research in literacy training (1964 to 1969); his work at Harvard, and then World Council of Churches in Geneva (1970 to 1980), including his consulting with postcolonial revolutionary governments in Africa; his return to Brazil and his work as Secretary of Education in São Paulo (1989 to 1992); and his global travels from 1980 until his death in 1997. Focus on work left incomplete before his death (including eco-pedagogy and citizen’s schools), and by implication his analyses, critiques, and impact in world, his methodology of generative word, and comparisons with other theoretical referents. Letter grading.
