What comes first
dibs has no class page for POL SCI 185, 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, two and one half hours; discussion, one hour (when scheduled). Demographers report that by 2050, the U.S. will have no racial majority. Given shifts in the population, the nation’s politics will surely change along with it. Study evaluates nature of American racial politics by focusing on histories and political dynamics surrounding the three largest racial minority groups in the U.S.: African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. Examination of different dimensions of the American political system through perspective of each group. Use of these perspectives to understand political challenges the groups face, political interests they develop, and possible group conflicts that may occur. Exploration of how racial classification and group identity inform distinctive political perspectives and ideologies for each group, and review of debates over how minority groups can best acquire greater political power. Consideration of how race and ethnicity are relatively fluid constructs by considering how new developments introduced by features such as immigration can often change the political stakes of a given issue. 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.
