English Composition, Rhetoric, and Language

Grades

3.63

Average grade awarded in ENGCOMP 3. Not a rating: this is what the grades were. i The mean of every letter grade the registrar has published for this course, pooled across every instructor who has taught it. Not a student rating: this is what the grades were. It is not shrunk toward anything, because a course average cannot be pulled toward itself. Standard error 0.007.

The registrar's own records: 7,329 grades over 17 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 17 terms ran 3.43 to 3.92.

By instructor

“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.

dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast a class fills. For what a class is like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.

Reviews for ENGCOMP 3 ↗

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before ENGCOMP 3. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for ENGCOMP 2 and ENGCOMP 2I, 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.

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

dibs has not read the registrar's description for this course. It reads them for general education courses only, so this says nothing about the course. Any section below links out to the registrar, where the catalog text is, and that text is also where a prerequisite the structured list does not carry would be written.

Sections in Fall 2026

Seat counts as of 02 Sep 02:42: the oldest of these 28 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 20 and 21 a term over 13 terms, summer excluded, most recently 21 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
