The registrar's own records: 1,744 grades over 16 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

3 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 16 terms ran 3.67 to 3.92.

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

  • A+ 175 · 10.0%
  • A 832 · 47.7%
  • A- 442 · 25.3%
  • B+ 179 · 10.3%
  • B 66 · 3.8%
  • B- 34 · 1.9%
  • C+ 7 · 0.4%
  • C 5 · 0.3%
  • C- 3 · 0.2%
  • F 1 · 0.1%
  • S 7 of 1,761
  • I 10 of 1,761

Percentages are of the 1,744 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: satisfactory (S) 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.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it. This course runs 15 lectures; the legend under the chart picks one.

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.

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.
