The registrar's own records: 288 grades over 13 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 13 terms ran 3.17 to 3.97.
- A+ 78 · 27.1%
- A 119 · 41.3%
- A- 53 · 18.4%
- B+ 19 · 6.6%
- B 11 · 3.8%
- B- 4 · 1.4%
- C+ 2 · 0.7%
- C 1 · 0.3%
- F 1 · 0.3%
- S 129 of 419
- U 2 of 419
Percentages are of the 288 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: satisfactory (S) and unsatisfactory (U). They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“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 1 course long before ESL 301. 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 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 : the oldest of these 2 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 15 and 20 a term over 13 terms, summer excluded, most recently 18 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.
