The registrar's own records: 300 grades over 9 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
3 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 9 terms ran 2.87 to 3.74.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 45 · 15.0%
- A 78 · 26.0%
- A- 32 · 10.7%
- B+ 33 · 11.0%
- B 33 · 11.0%
- B- 17 · 5.7%
- C+ 21 · 7.0%
- C 19 · 6.3%
- C- 12 · 4.0%
- D+ 4 · 1.3%
- D 2 · 0.7%
- F 4 · 1.3%
- P 10 of 310
Percentages are of the 300 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P).
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.

Read from 14 reviews 26 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 5 courses long before MATH 167. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for MATH 167 in Fall 2025 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for MATH 3B, 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 1 of the last 4 Falls, so it turns up in Fall sometimes rather than dependably.
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.
