What comes first
dibs has no class page for COM LIT 180A, 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.
From the registrar's catalog
Seminar, three hours. Recommended preparation: intermediate knowledge of a second language. Exploration of how illness, suffering, and care move across languages, cultures, and systems of knowledge. Examination of what happens when experiences of the body are communicated across linguistic and cultural boundaries, particularly as they enter medical discourse. Consideration of what is lost, reshaped, or standardized as experiences of the body are translated; and how these exchanges are mediated in clinical and interpretive settings. Study brings together translation studies, narrative medicine, and literary texts, examining these questions through both theory and case studies. Topics include clinical encounters, colonial histories, and contemporary debates about artificial intelligence and machine translation and interpretation in health care. P/NP or letter grading.

Seats over time in Winter 2027
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.

How readings and alerts work
Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.
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.
