Read 5 hours ago. dibs reads this about once an hour, so the seats and the instructors here may both have moved since.

dibs has seen this section open 13 times since 17 August. The last time was about 5 hours ago. 7 of those were readings where the capacity figure moved and the enrolled count did not, so dibs could not tell whether a seat existed and did not send an alert.

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: "New Students Only".

From the registrar new students only until 15 September

Any student attempting to save or sell a spot for another student is violating Student Conduct Code 102.23d and may be referred to the Office of the Dean of Students. Seats are held for entering students who enroll through New Student Orientation sessions beginning July 2, 2026. New student restrictions will be lifted on September 15, 2026 at 8 a.m. PTE numbers are NOT available; do not contact the instructor for a PTE number.

Held for entering students enrolling through orientation until 15 September. If that is you, the seats are yours now; if not, the class opens to you that morning.

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.

What the work looks like

  • Exams mentioned, no number given, said by 11 reviewers “At the beginning of the quarter, she told us that we'd be focusing on quantum mechanics and that it'd be an important topic, just to not have any questions on the final covering that topic.”
  • Quizzes mentioned, no number given, said by 3 reviewers “There were 3 quizzes, one question each.”
  • Papers mentioned, no number given, said by 1 reviewer “a final paper, which sounds like a lot (12-15 pages)”
  • Problem sets mentioned, no number given, said by 5 reviewers “do the problem sets each week”
  • Presentations mentioned, no number given, said by 1 reviewer “There're also two presentations that were really chill and a final paper”

Read from 336 reviews 3 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.

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 31 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 26 August at 05:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 205 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.
