The registrar's own records: 106 grades over 3 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 3 terms ran 3.39 to 3.61.

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

  • A 38 · 35.8%
  • A- 23 · 21.7%
  • B+ 23 · 21.7%
  • B 19 · 17.9%
  • B- 2 · 1.9%
  • F 1 · 0.9%

Percentages are of the 106 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes.

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.

What comes first

dibs has not read a class page for EC ENGR 215B 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 Spring 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.

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, four hours; discussion, one hour; outside study, seven hours. Requisites: courses 115C, M216A. Analysis and comparison of modern logic families. VLSI memories (SRAM, DRAM, and ROMs). Accuracy of various simulation models and simulation methods for digital circuits. Letter grading.
