Why can't I find a certain class?

UCI might be withholding that class's data, or the instructor may have submitted grades late so the data wasn't collected in time. UCI doesn't release grade distribution data for classes with 10 students or less.

Why can't I find a certain instructor?

There are 3 possible reasons:

  • If they are a professor/lecturer, it may be for the same reasons as "Why can't I find a certain class?" above.
  • If they are a TA, they may not be listed in the database, or the professor is listed instead of the TA.
  • If the class has multiple instructors, only one teacher may have been mentioned in the database.
