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 5 courses long before ENGL 180. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for ENGCOMP 2, ENGCOMP 2I, and ENGL 10C, 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

Seminar, three or four hours. Requisites: courses 10A, 10B, and 10C, or 11 and 87. Consult Schedule of Classes for author, period, genre, or subject to be studied in specific term. May be repeated for credit with topic or instructor change. P/NP or 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.

dibs read 168 of the 546 hours its hourly record covers, 31%, and did not look in 378. dibs had no hourly record before 9 Sep, which is the other 515 of 1061 plotted.16 of 15 enrolled at the newest reading, 13 minutes ago, and no seats left. Seats from 18 Aug 21:40 to 2 Oct 01:24, 15 to 16. dibs read 168 of the 546 hours its hourly record here covers, 31%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 378 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 9 September at 08:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 515 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.
