Spring 2027Not yet assigned5 units

Spring 2027 is published but enrollment has not opened, so there is no seat here to watch for yet. dibs holds the listing but has not read this class's own page yet, so it cannot yet say who may enroll.

Seats, time, final and grades

Seats

Not published yet.

The department has not published seat counts for this class.

Its lecture reads tentative (-): 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

Time TBA

This discussion only. You also attend Lec 1.

Final

Not read yet

dibs has not read this class page since it started reading exam times, so it does not know either way.

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.

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 198 reviews about 1 month ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.

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.

The department has not published seat counts for this class, so there is nothing to plot. dibs records when it read the class, not a count it was never given. Last read 10 Sep 03:05.

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 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".
