The registrar's own records: 50 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+ 12 · 24.0%
- A 18 · 36.0%
- A- 5 · 10.0%
- B+ 3 · 6.0%
- B 5 · 10.0%
- B- 4 · 8.0%
- C+ 1 · 2.0%
- D 1 · 2.0%
- F 1 · 2.0%
- P 2 of 53
- NP 1 of 53
Percentages are of the 50 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and no-passes (NP).
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.

What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for RELIGN M115 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.
In Falls
Has not run in Fall in the 4 Falls dibs holds records for, back to Winter 2022. That is 4 years of grade records rather than the course catalog, so it says what has happened and not what the department will do next. dibs has no record of it in any quarter since Winter 2022.
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
(Same as Islamic Studies CM115.) Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Students gain familiarity with historical cases and modes of interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims in plural societies. Consideration of axis questions such as how does Qur'an reflect religious plurality; how does it situate Islam vis-à-vis its alternatives; what encounters did rapid expansion of Islam bring about in diverse societies; how did Islam and other religions change through debate, war, and exchange of ideas; what roles has political power played in conditioning interreligious interaction; how have conversion and hybridity affected what it means to be Muslim; what is different about interreligious interactions in secular states and societies; and how is past invoked to justify opinions and policies today. Investigation of these questions by conducting microstudies: close readings of sources through theoretical lens. P/NP or letter grading.
