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

  • 3 exams, 1 mention in past reviews
  • 6 problem sets, 1 mention in past reviews
  • Projects mentioned, no number given, 1 mention in past reviews

Based on 20 reviews; source checked about 2 months ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.

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.

Checked 168 of the 542 hours with hourly history, 31%. No reading was recorded in 374 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 24 Sep, which is the other 901 of 1443 plotted.59 of 60 enrolled at the newest reading, 3 hours ago, with 1 left. Seats from 17 Aug 16:55 to 16 Oct 18:12, 41 to 59. Checks are not continuous monitoring. Changes between checks may be missed.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist. Flat between dots joins recorded counts; changes between reads may be missed. 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 3 hours ago. It is where the line stops, not where the count is now.

How readings and alerts work

Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.

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 has posted yet.

Dis 1A shares one room with Lec 1 and every other discussion under it, because that is what a student means by "my class".
