What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.02 to 3.43.

Percentages are of the 198 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TORNELL, AARON reviews ↗ | 3.32 | 3.33 | 139 | 2 | 42% | average | not teaching it |
| WILLIAMS, THOMAS JONATHAN reviews ↗ | 3.07 | 3.02 | 59 | 1 | 31% | - | 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
- 1 exam, said by 1 reviewer
- Labs mentioned, no number given, said by 1 reviewer
Read from 2 reviews 26 days 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 6 courses long before ECON 106ML. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for ECON 106ML in Winter 2026 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 Winters
Ran in 1 of the last 4 Winters, so it turns up in Winter sometimes rather than dependably.
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.
