the registrar has this letter grade only this term
The registrar's own records: 83 grades over 5 terms, 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, and term averages across those 5 terms ran 3.76 to 3.88.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 23 · 27.7%
- A 27 · 32.5%
- A- 21 · 25.3%
- B+ 5 · 6.0%
- B 7 · 8.4%
- I 1 of 84
Percentages are of the 83 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: 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.
Workload and assignments
Reported assignments across instructors and terms. This term's syllabus may differ.
No reviews were listed in the BruinWalk source checked 7 days ago. Assignment details are unknown. Check the current syllabus.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before COM HLT 212. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for COM HLT 212 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 BIOSTAT 201B and BIOSTAT 406, 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 people who took it
Student reviews
What taking COM HLT 212 was like: the work, the teaching, and what students wish they’d known.
Your experience could be the first.

Looking for more perspectives?
External reviews are separate and do not count toward the dibs rating.
Seats over time in Fall 2025
How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.
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.

How readings and alerts work
Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.
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.
