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.

What watching takes

Your setup, with any current hold shown beside the watch control.

An account

An alert needs an email address. You can browse courses and grade history without signing in.

Before you can enroll

From the registrar limited until second pass

All world arts and cultures courses are limited to majors until the last appointment of the second pass has occurred. At that time, enrollment in selected courses is opened to nonmajors, space permitting.

This limit ends at an enrollment pass rather than on a date, and dibs does not hold the date second pass opens for Fall 2026, so it cannot say whether that pass has come. So dibs cannot tell whether this class is open to you today, and it is not counting it as one you can take: your enrollment appointment on MyUCLA is what settles it.

Restrictions checked 3 days ago and may be outdated. Unwatched sections are rechecked less often than watched sections. 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.

Workload, light. 3.8 of 5 for David Shorter, where 5 is lightest. Read 14 days ago.

What the work looks like

  • 1 paper, 3 mentions in past reviews
  • Group works mentioned, no number given, 1 mention in past reviews

Based on 24 reviews; source checked 6 days 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

no history 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 1143 hours with hourly history, 15%. No reading was recorded in 975 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 30 Aug, which is the other 273 of 1416 plotted.12 of 23 enrolled at the newest reading, 6 hours ago, and no seats left. Seats from 18 Aug 18:40 to 16 Oct 17:52, 13 to 12. 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 6 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".
