What comes first
dibs has no class page for ECON 455, 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
Lecture, three hours. Limited to Master of Quantitative Economics students. Study bridges quantitative trading and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities by equipping students with skills to design and implement agentic AI systems for financial markets. While conventional approaches rely on humans to interpret news, analyze information, and adjust strategies, study demonstrates how large language model (LLM)-based agents can automate these cognitive tasks while maintaining the rigorous backtesting and execution standards of quantitative finance. Students build physical systems that demonstrate how artificial intelligence can augment—not replace—human decision-making in trading. Emphasis on hands-on implementation, culminating in each student creating their own agent-based trading system that processes real alternative data and executes strategies using reinforcement learning frameworks. 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.
