What comes first
dibs has no class page for EDUC M260B, 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
(Formerly numbered 260B.) (Same as Public Policy M276B.) Lecture, three hours. Recommended requisite: course M260A. Second course in programming/data science sequence designed for students who do not have programming background. Uses primarily R programming language. Organized around practical programming skills/concepts that are fundamental across modern object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Python, Javascript). Topics include organizing files, folders, and scripts; reading (importing) and writing (exporting) data; using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration; iteration (e.g., loops); conditional execution; writing functions; strings and regular expressions. These general programming skills are prerequisite for flashier data science applications (e.g., web-scraping, interactive maps). Students become proficient in programming skills/concepts through weekly problem sets, completed in groups. S/U or letter grading.

Student reviews
What taking EDUC M260B was like: the work, the teaching, and what students wish they’d known.

External reviews are separate and do not count toward the dibs rating.
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.

Nothing read since 20 Oct, 5 hours ago. Over the 1 minute before that, unchanged.
Both readings say 0 of 30.
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.
