The registrar's own records: 1,115 grades over 9 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

4 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 9 terms ran 3.60 to 3.96.

Percentages are of the 1,115 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.

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.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

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.

Lec 1 · Goff, B.S. and Kady, A. · 150 of 150 enrolled

Nothing read since 1 Oct, 2 hours ago. Over about 1 month before that, same seat count, but the status moved and came back and the seat count moved and came back.

dibs read 168 of the 514 hours its hourly record covers, 33%, and did not look in 346. dibs had no hourly record before 10 Sep, which is the other 542 of 1056 plotted.150 of 150 enrolled at the newest reading, 2 hours ago, and no seats left. Seats from 18 Aug 18:41 to 1 Oct 17:53, 150 to 150. dibs read 168 of the 514 hours its hourly record here covers, 33%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 346 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 10 September at 08:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 542 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.
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.
