The registrar's own records: 1,040 grades over 8 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 8 terms ran 3.14 to 3.78.

Percentages are of the 1,040 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.
By instructor
| Instructor | Predicted GPA | Raw | n | Terms | A range | Workload | Fall 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CONVERY, PATRICK DENNIS reviews ↗ | 3.49 | 3.49 | 914 | 7 | 61% | - | not teaching it |
| MCDEVITT, EDWARD P reviews ↗ | 3.17 | 3.14 | 126 | 1 | 36% | - | 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.
There are no BruinWalk reviews of this course on record as of 26 days ago, so nobody has told dibs what kind of work it sets. That is dibs holding no reviews at all, and not reviewers who wrote without mentioning the work.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 6 courses long before ECON 106FB. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for ECON 106FB in Fall 2025 and a department can change what it requires. 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 4 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, one hour; laboratory, one hour. Requisite: course 102. Enforced corequisite: course 106F. Case-based analysis requiring students to apply theory from course 106F to real-world problems regarding topics such as discounted cash flow analysis, CAPM model, applications to public policy, and more. Hands-on data collection and problem solving and presentation of student analyses both orally and in writing. P/NP or letter grading.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 115 and 155 a term over 8 terms, summer excluded, most recently 123 in Winter 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
Seats over time in Fall 2025
Read once so far, so there is no line to draw yet.
What turns this into a chart
A second reading is what turns this into a chart: courses come round within about three hours, and a lecture somebody is watching goes to the front of the pass. Watching is on the lecture's own page, not this one.
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.
