the registrar has this letter grade only this term
The registrar's own records: 810 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 3.46 to 3.65.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

Percentages are of the 810 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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Summer Session A 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KOMAR, KATHLEEN L reviews ↗ | 3.51 | 3.51 | 535 | 5 | 61% | average | not teaching it |
| LEVITZ, TAMARA JUDITH-MARIE reviews ↗ | 3.65 | 3.65 | 275 | 3 | 74% | light | not teaching it |
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
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
What the work looks like
- 1 exam, said by 1 reviewer
- 4 papers, said by 7 reviewers
Read from 46 reviews about 1 month 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 2 courses long before COM LIT 2CW. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for COM LIT 2CW in Summer Session A 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for ENGCOMP 2 and ENGCOMP 2I, 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.
