You are looking at Spring 2027. Enrollment for it has not opened, so these are the registrar's early listings. dibs holds 1,870 sections for Spring 2027, read 28 hours ago. Separately, it has finished 968 of the 3,479 courses on its own sweep list for this term. Terms nobody is enrolling in are swept one a night in rotation, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

COMM 10

The registrar's own records: 1,715 grades over 15 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 15 terms ran 2.42 to 3.36.

  • A+ 46 · 2.7%
  • A 161 · 9.4%
  • A- 242 · 14.1%
  • B+ 221 · 12.9%
  • B 207 · 12.1%
  • B- 212 · 12.4%
  • C+ 186 · 10.8%
  • C 136 · 7.9%
  • C- 108 · 6.3%
  • D+ 66 · 3.8%
  • D 53 · 3.1%
  • D- 18 · 1.0%
  • F 59 · 3.4%
  • P 3 of 1,863
  • NP 1 of 1,863
  • I 144 of 1,863

Percentages are of the 1,715 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), no-passes (NP), and incompletes (I). They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

By instructor

Predicted GPA, raw average, sample size, terms, A range and the workload reviewers reported for every instructor with a grade record in this course
Instructor Predicted GPA Raw n Terms A range Workload Spring 2027
SUMAN, MICHAEL reviews ↗ 2.67 2.67 1,040 10 23% - not teaching it

JONES, GABE reviews ↗ 3.31 3.36 180 1 58% - not teaching it

“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.

dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast a class fills. For what a class is like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.

Reviews for COMM 10

What comes first

dibs has not read a class page for COMM 10, 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 Springs

Ran in 4 of the last 4 Springs.

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. Introduction to study of interpersonal and mass communication using interdisciplinary approach. Exploration of basic methods and theoretical perspectives that social scientists and others use to study interpersonal and mass communication, and basic concepts used to describe and explain that communication. Historical overview of each major mass media. Study of significant current topical issues related to means of communication that reach large numbers of people. Letter grading.

Sections in Spring 2027

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 10 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 120 and 204 a term over 8 terms, summer excluded, most recently 180 in Winter 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Spring 2027

Read once so far, so there is no line to draw yet. A second reading is what turns this into a chart: courses come round within about three hours, and anything you watch every hour.
