The registrar's own records: 6,844 grades over 17 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 17 terms ran 3.29 to 3.84.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 852 · 12.4%
- A 3,035 · 44.3%
- A- 773 · 11.3%
- B+ 549 · 8.0%
- B 642 · 9.4%
- B- 245 · 3.6%
- C+ 181 · 2.6%
- C 213 · 3.1%
- C- 101 · 1.5%
- D+ 45 · 0.7%
- D 90 · 1.3%
- D- 15 · 0.2%
- F 103 · 1.5%
- P 24 of 6,919
- NP 4 of 6,919
- I 36 of 6,919
- DR 11 of 6,919
Percentages are of the 6,844 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), no-passes (NP), incompletes (I), and withdrawals (DR).
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.
Withdrawals are the exception to "excluded": DR is not scored, but it IS counted in the D, F or W figure above, which is reported over the letter grades plus the withdrawals. Pass/no pass and S/U outcomes are outside that figure on both sides.

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 read this course’s reviews and none of them say what kind of work it sets, so dibs has nothing to show rather than a guess. Read from 246 reviews about 1 month ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.
In Winters
Ran in 4 of the last 4 Winters.
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.
