Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

The registrar's own records: 724 grades over 4 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

1 of those terms is a summer session, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 4 terms ran 3.39 to 3.69.

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

  • A+ 189 · 26.1%
  • A 241 · 33.3%
  • A- 112 · 15.5%
  • B+ 45 · 6.2%
  • B 45 · 6.2%
  • B- 28 · 3.9%
  • C+ 12 · 1.7%
  • C 15 · 2.1%
  • C- 15 · 2.1%
  • D+ 5 · 0.7%
  • D 2 · 0.3%
  • F 15 · 2.1%
  • P 29 of 757
  • NP 3 of 757
  • S 1 of 757

Percentages are of the 724 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: passes (P), no-passes (NP), 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.

By instructor

Predicted GPA, raw average, sample size, terms, A range and the workload reviewers reported for every instructor with a grade record in this course
Instructor Predicted GPA Raw n Terms A range Workload Fall 2025
COHEN, MEREDITH MARIE reviews ↗ 3.51 3.51 482 3 72% light not teaching it
GERSTEL, SHARON ELIZABETH reviews ↗ 3.69 3.69 242 1 81% light not teaching it
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.

In Falls

Ran in 2 of the last 5 Falls, so it turns up in Fall sometimes rather than dependably. dibs has no record of it in any quarter since Fall 2024.

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, three hours; quiz, one hour. Early Christian, Byzantine, Islamic, Carolingian, Ottonian, Romanesque, and Gothic art and architecture. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 2025

dibs has not read Fall 2025 for this course, so it cannot say whether it runs. dibs reads the term you are enrolling in first and the rest a little at a time; the registrar's own listing is the answer until this one catches up.
