Seats

Closed.

40 of 40 enrolled.

Its lecture reads closed (188 of 188 enrolled): you attend both, so this seat is not one you can take while that holds. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

Meets

T 2:00pm-2:50pm

This discussion only. You also attend Lec 3.

Final

Fri 11 Dec, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

One exam for the whole class, Los Angeles time.

Watching is the one thing here that needs an account, because an alert needs somewhere to go. Everything else on this page works signed out.

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

Registrar's Restrictions cell, read 36 hours ago: "Undergraduate Students Only".

Tell dibs what you have already taken and this line will say which of these you have. Your list.

From the registrar

Wait lists are not possible because of the three-part structure (lecture, discussion, and laboratory). Students who retake Physics 5C must enroll in all three sections: Once enrolled, send an e-mail to mtran@physics.ucla.edu with your name, student ID number, and quarter in which you originally took the laboratory. You will be manually enrolled in the G99 laboratory. Any student attempting to hold a spot for another student is violating Student Conduct Code 102.23d and may be referred to the Office of the Dean of Students. See https://pa.ucla.edu/physics-and-astronomy-enrollment-information.html for more information.

Restrictions read 36 hours ago. dibs re-reads these slowly because they rarely change; watch the section and it moves to every 6 hours.

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 read this course’s reviews and none of them say what kind of work it sets, so dibs has nothing to show rather than a guess. Read from 202 reviews 3 days ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.

Will it still be here

high risk chance of closing before your enrollment pass.

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

read 168hnot reached 34hno record 202hSeats from 17 Aug 16:42 to 3 Sep 11:30, 40 to 40. No line is drawn, because nothing moved. Across the 404 hours from 17 Aug 16:42 to 3 Sep 11:30, dibs holds a read record for 168 of them. Where the line is flat across an hour dibs did read, the count held: that is checked and unchanged, rather than nobody having looked. For 34 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 26 August at 02:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 202 hours of this window. A hedged line never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist. Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and the line starts when dibs first saw this section rather than reaching back before it existed. The last one is the last time dibs read this section, moved or not, and that was 5 hours ago. It is where the line stops, not where the count is now.

Dis 3C shares one room with Lec 3 and every other discussion under it, because that is what a student means by "my class".
