The registrar's own records: 3,564 grades over 14 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
4 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 14 terms ran 3.64 to 4.00.
Historical grades for WAGMISTER, CARLOS, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 289 · 66.3%
- A 134 · 30.7%
- A- 12 · 2.8%
- B- 1 · 0.2%
- P 4 of 441
- S 1 of 441
Percentages are of the 436 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) and satisfactory (S).
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.
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.

From the people who took it
Student reviews
What taking FILM TV 4 was like: the work, the teaching, and what students wish they’d known.

Seats over time in Fall 2026
How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.
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.
Lec 1 · Wagmister, C. · 200 of 200 enrolled
Nothing read since 17 Oct, 10 hours ago. Over the 2 months before that, filled by 87.
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.
