The registrar's own records: 198 grades over 3 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

No summer session is in that record.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 3 terms ran 3.02 to 3.43.

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.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 6 courses long before ECON 106ML. dibs has read a class page for every course in it.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

In Falls

Ran in 1 of the last 5 Falls, so it turns up in Fall sometimes rather than dependably.

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

Lecture, one hour; laboratory, one hour. Requisites: courses 11, 101, 102. Enforced corequisite: course 106M. Case-based analysis requiring students to apply material from course 106M to real-world problems involving financial markets and financial institutions. Issues include potential effects of monetary and regulatory policies on financial markets. Topics include bond market, stock market, foreign exchange market, financial crises, and financial regulation. Hands-on data collection and problem solving and presentation of student analyses both orally and in writing. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 2026

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 5 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 25 and 61 a term over 3 terms, summer excluded, most recently 57 in Spring 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

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 · Teodoro Guerreiro, · 68 of 93 enrolled

Nothing read since 1 Oct, 3 hours ago. Over about 2 months before that, freed 3 seats.

dibs read 168 of the 531 hours its hourly record covers, 32%, and did not look in 363. dibs had no hourly record before 9 Sep, which is the other 550 of 1081 plotted.68 of 93 enrolled at the newest reading, 3 hours ago, with 25 left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 1 Oct 15:34, 71 to 68. dibs read 168 of the 531 hours its hourly record here covers, 32%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 363 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 9 September at 13:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 550 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.
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.
