Percentages are of the 1,334 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I). They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Spring 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| STAUB, SHALOM DAVID reviews ↗ | 3.79 | 3.79 | 1,031 | 10 | 89% | light | not teaching it |
| MARQUEZ, RIGOBERTO reviews ↗ | 3.75 | 3.75 | 303 | 3 | 88% | very light | not teaching it |
“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.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for CESC 50XP, 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.
In Springs
Ran in 4 of the last 4 Springs.
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.
