Shakespeare: Poems and Early Plays

Grades

3.57

Average grade awarded in ENGL 150A. 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 0.034.

The registrar's own records: 321 grades over 9 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 9 terms ran 3.14 to 3.71.

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.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 5 courses long before ENGL 150A. 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 02:40. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

  35 of 35 enrolled high risk i A guess about whether this will still be here at your enrollment pass, from how full it is now and how fast classes like it have filled before. Seat risk is a prediction and seat status is what the registrar said: they are two things, and this page keeps them apart.

  majors only limited by major: English Majors or Minors: restrictions read 2 days ago, old enough that alerts on it are held

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 15 and 39 a term over 8 terms, summer excluded, most recently 35 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
