Seats, time, final and grades

Seats

Closed.

20 of 20 enrolled.

Its lecture reads closed (120 of 120 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

R 5:00pm-5:50pm

This discussion only. You also attend Lec 1.

Final

None on the page dibs read

No exam time on the page dibs read. That is not the registrar saying there is no final.

Read 2 hours ago. The latest refresh is overdue. Seats and instructors may have changed since. Check the registrar before enrolling.

dibs has seen this section open 12 times since 17 August. The last time was 11 September. 8 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

From the registrar limited early, then open

Political Science undergraduate class discussion sections will NOT meet prior to the first lecture meeting. 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.

The limit stands until 15 September, and lifts then. dibs still counts this class as one you can take, but not yet.

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

Will it still be here

dibs read 168 of the 519 hours its hourly record covers, 32%, and did not look in 351. dibs had no hourly record before 10 Sep, which is the other 561 of 1080 plotted.20 of 20 enrolled at the newest reading, 2 hours ago, and no seats left. Seats from 17 Aug 16:55 to 1 Oct 15:33, 16 to 20. dibs read 168 of the 519 hours its hourly record here covers, 32%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 351 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 10 September at 01:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 561 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that 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 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 2 hours ago. It is where the line stops, not where the count is now.

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.
