The registrar's own records: 178 grades over 4 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
Every one of those terms is a summer session, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 4 terms ran 2.89 to 3.12.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

- A- 19 · 10.7%
- B+ 24 · 13.5%
- B 40 · 22.5%
- B- 19 · 10.7%
- C+ 8 · 4.5%
- C 16 · 9.0%
- C- 8 · 4.5%
- D 5 · 2.8%
- F 3 · 1.7%
- P 16 of 201
- NP 7 of 201
Percentages are of the 178 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and no-passes (NP).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| COOPER, RONALD HALGETH reviews ↗ | 3.00 | 3.00 | 178 | 4 | 31% | average | 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
- Exams mentioned, no number given, said by 6 reviewers
- Quizzes mentioned, no number given, said by 1 reviewer
- Labs mentioned, no number given, said by 2 reviewers
Read from 32 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
dibs has not read a class page for PHYSCI 3 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.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, three hours; laboratory, two hours. Not open to Physiological Science majors. Courses 3 and 5 may be taken independently, concurrently, or in either sequence. Understanding of human body, its organization from molecular to cellular to tissues and organs, and how component parts function in integrated manner to permit life as we know it. P/NP or letter grading.
