Grades

The registrar's own records: 4,537 grades over 17 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 17 terms ran 2.72 to 3.44.

Historical grades for VOGEL, JONATHAN E, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A+ 26 · 2.8%
  • A 163 · 17.4%
  • A- 78 · 8.3%
  • B+ 183 · 19.5%
  • B 88 · 9.4%
  • B- 111 · 11.8%
  • C+ 106 · 11.3%
  • C 97 · 10.3%
  • C- 32 · 3.4%
  • D+ 5 · 0.5%
  • D 26 · 2.8%
  • F 23 · 2.5%
  • P 1 of 949
  • NP 4 of 949
  • I 6 of 949

Percentages are of the 938 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.

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

Reported assignments across instructors and terms. This term's syllabus may differ.

What the work looks like

  • 2 exams, 8 mentions in past reviews
  • 7 problem sets, 7 mentions in past reviews

Based on 300 reviews; source checked 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

The chain dibs can see is 4 courses long before ECON 101. dibs has read a class page for every course in it.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

In Falls

Ran in 5 of the last 5 Falls.

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, three hours; discussion, one hour. Requisite: course 11. Theory of factor pricing and income distribution, general equilibrium, implications of pricing process for optimum allocation of resources, game theory, and interest and capital. P/NP or letter grading.

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 · Vogel, J.E. · 142 of 285 enrolled

Nothing read since 16 Oct, 11 hours ago. Over the 2 months before that, same seat count, but the seat count moved and came back.

142 of 285 · 71 left in its discussions

Checked 168 of the 594 hours with hourly history, 28%. No reading was recorded in 426 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 22 Sep, which is the other 849 of 1443 plotted.142 of 285 enrolled at the newest reading, 11 hours ago, with 71 left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 16 Oct 17:52, 142 to 142. Checks are not continuous monitoring. Changes between checks may be missed.
How readings and alerts work

Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.

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.
