Percentages are of the 517 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P) 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.

Read from 28 reviews 27 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for FILM TV 106C in any term it holds, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
In Falls
Ran in 2 of the last 5 Falls, so it turns up in Fall sometimes rather than dependably.
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
Lecture/screenings, six hours; discussion, one hour. Focus on films drawn mainly from cinema of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with additional films encompassing Third Cinema and diasporas that complement and contextualize thinking about these regions and various cinema movements they have generated. Examination of the influences and socioeconomic conditions in which they emerge, and how they revolutionized film aesthetics. These films diverge from, as well as respond to, the language and visual idiom of Hollywood and popular European Cinema, and therefore, may challenge expectations. Study is concerned with how cinema interprets history, conveys cultural beliefs, and comes to terms with identity, history, and politics caused by colonialism, nationalism, and traditionalism. P/NP or letter grading.
