The registrar's own records: 78 grades over 4 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 4 terms ran 3.97 to 3.98.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A 74 · 94.9%
- A- 3 · 3.8%
- B+ 1 · 1.3%
Percentages are of the 78 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes.
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.
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.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 3 courses long before CHEM C232A. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for CHEM C232A in Summer Session A 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for LIFESCI 23L, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
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, four hours. Requisites: Life Sciences 7A, 7B, 7C, 23L. Students gain broad foundational knowledge and skills for rigorous research in emerging areas of cell and molecular biology. Focus on foundational knowledge of cell and molecular biology research areas including cell cycle, cell signaling, cell metabolism, cell communication, cell states and fates, genomes, and proteomes. Focus on skills development for cell and molecular biology research. Students are equipped with theory of modern experimental approaches, and acquire hands-on skills training in designing experiments and analyzing data using these approaches. Students meet with directors of shared core facilities that specialize in these approaches to facilitate use of these approaches in their research Continuation of in-depth analysis of rigorous experimental design and statistical analyses in cell and molecular biology. Concurrently scheduled with course C132A. Letter grading.
