Assuming you have satisfied Writing I
(ENGCOMP 3 or an equivalent such as ESL 36), which these courses require.
I have not.
Needs a grade of C or better: C- does not count, and neither does a Passed grade.
You cannot enroll in sections held for new students unless you are one, and they are marked
in the list. Useful for seeing what a category really offers.
Where a course has discussions, the discussion is what you enroll in.
The exam, paper, quiz and problem set marks come from what reviewers wrote, and a mark reaches a row here only where at least two of them said the same thing. A blank means nobody said, which is not the same as none: where a reviewer said there were none, the row says none. A mark carrying ×? is a kind reviewers wrote about without any of them giving a number, which is not the same as none either.
Balanced puts most of the weight on the grade record, then on how full the section is
now, then on whether it was open at the last reading. Grades, Seat odds and Open first
each lean the whole way onto one of those.
The ranking is meant to be arguable rather than handed down. These four chips are its
corners: w_gpa, w_fill and
w_open in the address bar take any weights you like, and a
link carrying them can be shared.
Seat risk combines how full the section is now with how large the course has
historically run. Reserved-seat restrictions are not parsed yet, so risk is a tier
rather than a percentage: a section can read “94 spots left” with most of them held
for a major.
Always check MyUCLA before you enroll. dibs holds nothing and cannot move you up a list.
If MyUCLA disagrees with this page, MyUCLA is right.
