The registrar's own records: 286 grades over 8 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

2 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 8 terms ran 2.76 to 3.51.

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.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 5 courses long before MATH 110A. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for MATH 3B, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

In Falls

Ran in 4 of the last 5 Falls.

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; discussion, one hour. Requisite: course 115A. Not open for credit to students with credit for course 117. Ring of integers, integral domains, fields, polynomial domains, unique factorization. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 2026

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 2 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 33 and 42 a term over 6 terms, summer excluded, most recently 33 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.

What a flat run means, and where a line starts

Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

Lec 1 · Dhillon, G. · 40 of 40 enrolled

Same seat count, but the status went closed to waitlist and the waitlist moved and came back over about 2 months

40 of 40 · no seats left in its discussions

All 14 readings say 40 of 40.

dibs read 168 of the 699 hours its hourly record covers, 24%, and did not look in 531. dibs had no hourly record before 3 Sep, which is the other 393 of 1092 plotted.40 of 40 enrolled at the newest reading, 56 minutes ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 2 Oct 02:32, 40 to 40. The line is flat across the whole window: recorded enrollment counts match. Changes between reads may be missed. dibs read 168 of the 699 hours its hourly record here covers, 24%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 531 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 3 September at 00:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 393 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.
How readings and alerts work

A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
