You are looking at Summer Session A 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 246 sections for Summer Session A 2026, read 3 hours ago. Separately, it has finished 400 of the 3,479 courses on its own sweep list for this term. Terms nobody is enrolling in are swept one a night in rotation, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

The registrar's own records: 1,361 grades over 8 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 8 terms ran 3.49 to 3.79.

  • A+ 507 · 37.3%
  • A 455 · 33.4%
  • A- 140 · 10.3%

  • P 30 of 1,409
  • NP 3 of 1,409

  • I 12 of 1,409
  • DR 1 of 1,409
  • R 1 of 1,409

Percentages are of the 1,361 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), no-passes (NP), satisfactory (S), incompletes (I), withdrawals (DR), and repeats (R). 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.

“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.

Reviews for AF AMER 1

What comes first

dibs has not read a class page for AF AMER 1, 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

Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Introduction of methods, theories, conceptual frameworks, and key debates in black studies. Interrogation of how race structures notions of identity and meaning of blackness in relation to class, gender, and sexuality; essential role of African people in development of capitalism, liberalism, and democracy; what various disciplinary lenses and epistemologies (history, literature, sociology, geography, cultural studies, political theory, philosophy, etc.) reveal about experiences of black people in modern world. Key thinkers and ideas from across humanities and social sciences are highlighted. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Summer Session A 2026

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 9 readings. That term is over, so nothing has moved since.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 94 and 193 a term over 5 terms, summer excluded, most recently 105 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
