dibs
You are looking at Spring 2027. Enrollment for it has not opened, so these are the registrar's early listings. dibs holds 3,658 sections for Spring 2027, read 43 hours ago. Separately, it has finished 2,718 of the 3,572 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

What is inside that record

No summer session is in that record.

The table below splits them.

Historical grades for HUNTER, CAITLIN VICTORIA CHAVOOR, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • P 205 of 205

Counts are out of 205 recorded outcomes. These are non-letter grades and do not have a GPA.

How the non-letter outcomes are counted

They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

Why Predicted is not the Raw average

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.

Workload and assignments

In Springs

Ran in 4 of the last 4 Springs.

From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.

From the registrar's catalog

dibs has not read the registrar's description for this course.

Why there is none, and where the text is

It reads them for general education courses only, so this says nothing about the course. Any section below links out to the registrar, where the catalog text is, and that text is also where a prerequisite the structured list does not carry would be written.

Seat counts as of . Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 40 and 55 a term over 8 terms, summer excluded, most recently 47 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Spring 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.

Lec 1 · Hunter, C.V. and Meyers, E.A. · 0 of 55 enrolled

1 hour plotted. dibs read it.0 of 55 enrolled at the newest reading, 18 days ago, with 55 left. Seats from 14 Sep 03:05 to 14 Sep 03:06, 0 to 0. The line is flat across the whole window: recorded enrollment counts match. Changes between reads may be missed. Every hour plotted carries a read, so a count that did not move here was checked and did not move.
How readings and alerts work

A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.

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.
