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 all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 6 · 60.0%
- A 2 · 20.0%
- B 1 · 10.0%
- F 1 · 10.0%
- S 2 of 12
Percentages are of the 10 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: satisfactory (S).
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 CCAS 239 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
Laboratory, four hours. Students learn how to think about one’s own research in visual way, and how to develop digital skills to produce images and videos for more professional and compelling research presentations and job talks that do not infringe upon copyrighted materials. Students learn how to locate high-resolution images, and how to use Photoshop to manipulate files and create original illustrations. Students learn how to use Prezi as oral presentation software and archiving method for gathering and organizing visual materials on their research. Each student receives personalized guidance based on specificity of their research, for example, mapping software, or video editing for oral history projects, or subtitling/translating for documentary videos. Students learn how to use available applications such as iMovie or QuickTime to produce short videos that can be incorporated into their presentations. For their final project, students are required to present mock conference talk using their original manipulated images and short videos. S/U or letter grading.
