The registrar's own records: 336 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 3.11 to 3.75.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

Percentages are of the 336 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), no-passes (NP), 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 | Winter 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZANONTIAN, LINDA ANIA reviews ↗ | 3.67 | 3.69 | 199 | 2 | 76% | light | not teaching it |
| CHRISTOU, NICOLAS reviews ↗ | 3.42 | 3.40 | 76 | 2 | 51% | heavy | not teaching it |
| WU, GUANI reviews ↗ | 3.20 | 3.11 | 61 | 1 | 51% | - | 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 read this course’s reviews and none of them say what kind of work it sets, so dibs has nothing to show rather than a guess. Read from 32 reviews 26 days ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for STATS 12 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 Winters
Ran in 2 of the last 3 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.
