CLUSTER 70A Lec 1

This is a year, not a class

Clusters run across three quarters, fall, winter, then the spring seminar, and UCLA counts the credit on completing the yearlong cluster: four GE requirements and the Writing II requirement. Signing up for the first quarter is signing up for the year.

Dibs only reads Fall 2026, so the later parts show no sections here: that is this term, not the sequence ending. What you keep if you take only part of a cluster is a question for the Cluster Program, not something these numbers answer.

Read 33 minutes ago. This is a recent reading, not a live seat count.

dibs has seen this section open 28 times since 17 August. The last time was 28 September. 6 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.

Enroll on the registrar Sign in to watch for an opening

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.

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 3 hours ago: "First-Year Freshmen Only".

From the registrar limited early, then open

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. Upon satisfactorily completing Clusters 70A, 70B, and 70CW, students receive credit for the following requirements: two Life Sciences GEs (one with lab), two Physical Sciences GEs (one with lab). Upon satisfactorily completing Clusters 70A, 70B, and 70CW, students will fulfill the Writing II requirement. Students must receive a grade of D- or better each quarter to receive general education credit and continue in the course. To receive credit for Writing II, students must satisfy Writing I by the end of the year, successfully complete fall and winter quarters, and earn a grade of C or better in spring quarter. For a complete summary of clusters credits, see https://www.uei.ucla.edu/academic-programs/ucla-cluster-program/benefits . There will be two MANDATORY midterm examinations from 6 to 7:50 p.m. on the following Thursdays: October 15 and November 19, 2026.3

The limit stands until 15 September, and lifts then. dibs still counts this class as one you can take, but not yet. This class is also First-Year Freshmen Only, which that date does not lift.

Discussions

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so the seat figure above is the sum across all of them and can read open while every discussion you could actually join is full.

11 discussions, none open. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

No discussion is open. Whatever the lecture reads, there is currently nothing here to enroll in.

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.

Workload, average. 2.9 of 5 for Anthony Friscia, where 5 is lightest. Read 30 days ago.

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

dibs read 168 of the 176 hours its hourly record covers, 95%, and did not look in 8. dibs had no hourly record before 24 Sep, which is the other 909 of 1085 plotted.

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: 33 minutes ago.

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.
