Put this class on a board

A board is one quarter you are drafting, so it needs an account to live in. Signing in brings you straight back to this page, with this class still in front of you.

Before you can enroll

dibs has not read this section's restrictions yet, so alerts on it are held. Check the registrar before counting on a seat.

Discussions

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so the seat figure above is the sum across all of them and can read open while every discussion you could actually join is full.

2 discussions, 1 open: Rec 1B, F 3:00pm-3:50pm. Lecture reads closed, so its 1 open discussion cannot be reached from here. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

These seats are real, and you cannot reach them from here. The lecture reads closed, and you enroll in the discussion but attend both, so the 1 open discussion below is out of reach while that holds. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

What students say

dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast it fills. For what the class is actually like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.

dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.

Will it still be here

Not a question any more: see the notice at the top of this page.

Final enrollment per term from four years of grade data. Summer excluded: different population, different pass structure.

1 hour plotted. dibs read it.81 of 81 enrolled at the newest reading, about 1 month ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 25 Aug 03:05 to 25 Aug 03:06, 81 to 81. 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.

A dot is a reading. Recorded enrollment counts match, so the line is flat across the whole window: it says when dibs looked rather than what changed. The last dot is the last time dibs read this section, moved or not, at the end of the term. Nothing has moved since.

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.

Class chat

Nobody on dibs watches this class or has it on a plan yet. Nobody posted here.

Fall 2025 has ended, so no room can be started here now.
