What comes first
dibs has no class page for CHIN 159, in any term it holds, that it can state prerequisites from, so it cannot say what comes before it. A page read while a class still reads Tentative does not count.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
