COM SCI 298
Research Seminar: Computer Science
Seminar.
Winter 2027: 73 sections. Nothing here is open. The oldest of these readings was about 1 month ago.
Grades
Graded S/U, so there is no average to report.
Graded S/U: 109 records over 10 terms.
In the A range
-
no letter grades in the record to count
D, F or W
-
no letter grades in the record to count
Taken pass/no pass
-
this course is graded S/U, not pass/no pass
The registrar's own records: 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.
- S 109 of 109
Counts are out of 109 recorded outcomes. These are non-letter grades and do not have a GPA.
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 | Winter 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CONG, JINGSHENG JASON reviews ↗ | S/U | 109 S/U | 10 | - | - | 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.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
In Winters
Ran in 3 of the last 4 Winters.
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, two to four hours; outside study, four to eight hours. Designed for graduate computer science students. Discussion of advanced topics and current research in algorithmic processes that describe and transform information: theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation, and application. May be repeated for credit. S/U grading.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 10 and 12 a term over 10 terms, summer excluded, most recently 12 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
Seats over time in Winter 2027
Read once so far, so there is no line to draw yet.
What turns this into a chart
A second reading is what turns this into a chart: courses come round within about three hours, and a lecture somebody is watching goes to the front of the pass. Watching is on the lecture's own page, not this one.
How readings and alerts work
A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.
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.
