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.

Your year

Helps dibs interpret enrollment limits. Uncertain eligibility may still be included with a caveat.

Before you can enroll

Registrar's Restrictions cell, read 3 days ago: "Cognitive Science or Psychology Majors. Premajors Are Excluded From This Population., and Juniors and Above".

Tell dibs what you have already taken and this line will say which of these you have. Your list.

From the registrar limited on both passes

The Psychology Department does not use PTE numbers. Instructors and the advising office do not provide PTE numbers for Psychology courses. Enrollment is limited to senior Cognitive Science majors on the priority, first, and second enrollment passes. Junior/senior Cognitive Science and Psychology majors may enroll beginning September 15, 2026, space permitting.

The limit applies on both enrollment passes, so there is no later pass to wait for.

Restrictions checked 3 days ago and may be outdated.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, average. 2.6 of 5 for Zili Liu, where 5 is lightest. Read 14 days ago.

What the work looks like

  • No exams, 6 mentions in past reviews
  • 7 problem sets, 2 mentions in past reviews
  • 1 project, 2 mentions in past reviews
  • 1 group work, 2 mentions in past reviews
  • Presentations mentioned, no number given, 1 mention in past reviews

Based on 12 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

low risk chance of closing before your enrollment pass.

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: 38 minutes ago.

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.
