What comes first
dibs has no class page for ENVIRON 205B, 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. Yearlong investigation of questions through series of case studies of five of most significant problems in environment and sustainability over last century: Dust Bowl, lead contamination, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), stratospheric ozone depletion, and tropical deforestation. Questions include how environmental problems become matters of public concern; what tools, techniques, and practices that make problems visible and legible to different publics and that inform possibilities for response are; how efforts aimed at understanding specific problems from different perspectives changed way other environmental problems and larger processes of environmental change are seen and approached; who gets left out in these different ways of seeing, and how do different ways of seeing and governing specific problems facilitate, justify, and compound imposition of harms on particular groups of people. Concurrently scheduled with Law 505B. In progress grading (credit to be given only on completion of courses 205C).

Student reviews
What taking ENVIRON 205B was like: the work, the teaching, and what students wish they’d known.

Looking for more perspectives?
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.

Both readings say 0 of 10.
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.
