Grades
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
The chain dibs can see is 2 courses long before DESMA 141. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for DESMA 101, DESMA 104, and DESMA 25, 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.
From the registrar's catalog
Studio, six hours. Requisites: courses 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, and 101 or 104. Online interaction today focuses on information through living, social platforms. Study goes beyond an average user’s perspective to critically examine the web through historical, political, and social lenses. Students are encouraged to holistically approach the web and its constituent code as a living kit of parts to be harnessed in novel and innovative ways. Examination of leading concepts of people-centered interactive design. User interface (UI) designers are focused on the design of the tool, while user interface (UX) designers are focused on a person’s experience of that tool. As digital technology industries rapidly alter ways of doing and thinking, design can amplify, shift, comment on, and/or criticize these changes. The role of designers today is to style and shape content, extracting information from abstract datasets, writing scenarios, and creating systems, all with a critical eye. Students are trained to research, analyze, prototype, and develop design concepts for digital media for distinct social and cultural contexts. Letter grading.

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.
Stu 1 · Seu, M. and Goyal, D. · 20 of 20 · 1 over enrolled
Nothing read since 1 Oct, 2 hours ago. Over about 1 month before that, same seat count, but the status went closed to waitlist and the waitlist moved and came back.
All 8 readings say 20 of 20.
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.
