The registrar's own records: 65 grades over 3 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.
What is inside that record
No summer session is in that record.
The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.88 to 3.93.
Historical grades for all professors, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.
- A+ 16 · 24.6%
- A 35 · 53.8%
- A- 10 · 15.4%
- B+ 2 · 3.1%
- B 2 · 3.1%
- P 2 of 68
- I 1 of 68
Percentages are of the 65 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.
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.
Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for PSYCTRY 173 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 Springs
Ran in 2 of the last 3 Springs.
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
(Formerly numbered 188.) Lecture, three hours. Our brains bias our behaviors to optimize functioning in our environment but often based on premises that are contrary to society goals of equality. Biases, both implicit and explicit are prevalent, and their existence leads to both overt and covert decision-making based on race, financial status, gender, and disabilities. Focus on biases, inequities, and disparities that surround mental health. Exploration of relevant biases in society and how they may arise. Students learn about implicit and explicit bias, and discuss instruments attempting to measure biases including implicit-association test. Exploration of multiple areas related to structural racism and how it contributes to mental health inequities. Review of biases against those with mental health disorders, exacerbation of mental health disorders, health inequities because of racism and discrimination, and treatment biases for mental health disorders. Consideration of current and historical research and relevance of public policies and criminal justice system in creating and perpetuating health inequities. P/NP or letter grading.
