The registrar's own records: 4,518 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 3.41 to 3.98.

Historical grades for NGO, CHAU, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A+ 97 · 12.2%
  • A 394 · 49.6%
  • A- 31 · 3.9%
  • B+ 29 · 3.7%
  • B 155 · 19.5%
  • B- 16 · 2.0%
  • C+ 15 · 1.9%
  • C 44 · 5.5%
  • C- 9 · 1.1%
  • D 2 · 0.3%
  • F 2 · 0.3%
  • P 1 of 803
  • I 8 of 803

Percentages are of the 794 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and incompletes (I).

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.

Reviews for CHEM 14CL

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 102 reviews 26 days ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 2 courses long before CHEM 14CL. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHEM 14BE, CHEM 20B, CHEM 20BH, and CHEM 20L, 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.

In Falls

Ran in 5 of the last 5 Falls.

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.

From the registrar's catalog

Lecture, two hours; laboratory, four hours. Enforced requisites: courses 14B or 14BE, and 14BL; or 20B or 20BH, and 20L; and 14C (may be taken concurrently); all with grades of C- or better. Synthesis and analysis of compounds; purification by extraction, chromatography, recrystallization, and sublimation; characterization by mass spectroscopy, UV, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, optical activity, electrochemistry, pH titration. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 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 26 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 162 and 320 a term over 12 terms, summer excluded, most recently 311 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. This course runs 2 lectures; the legend under the chart picks one.

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.

That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 347 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 10 September at 18:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 579 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.
