You are looking at Summer Session A 2026.
That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take.
dibs holds 246 sections for Summer Session A 2026, read about 1 month ago. Separately, it has finished 400 of the 3,617 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet.

Grades with this instructorRaw is the average actually awarded. Predicted pulls it toward the course average, and then toward the department's, in proportion to how few grades there are, so twelve students cannot outvote six terms. A range is the share who got an A minus or better. D, F or W is the share who finished with a D or an F, or withdrew. There is no single average for this person: one figure over every course would be weighted by students, not by course, and the largest lecture would stand for all of them.
