The registrar's own records: 10 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 GIRARD, PAUL ERIK, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A+ 1 · 10.0%
  • A 8 · 80.0%
  • B+ 1 · 10.0%

Percentages are of the 10 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

The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before THEATER C157A. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for THEATER 14B and THEATER 14C, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

From the registrar's catalog

Studio, four hours. Requisites: courses 14A, 14B, 14C. Study of theory and application of drafting, pattern making, fitting, and construction techniques for period costumes and undergarments to achieve authentic-appearing costume using contemporary methods. Introduction to draping, pattern grading fitting, and slash and spread adaptation. May be repeated once for credit. Concurrently scheduled with course C457A. P/NP or letter grading.

Seat counts as of . Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: 10 a term over 1 term, summer excluded, most recently 10 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.

What a flat run means, and where a line starts

Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

dibs read 168 of the 558 hours its hourly record covers, 30%, and did not look in 390. dibs had no hourly record before 8 Sep, which is the other 501 of 1059 plotted.10 of 10 enrolled at the newest reading, 2 hours ago, and no seats left. Seats from 18 Aug 22:40 to 2 Oct 00:42, 5 to 10. dibs read 168 of the 558 hours its hourly record here covers, 30%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 390 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 8 September at 19:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 501 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.
How readings and alerts work

A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
