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

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

Restrictions checked 4 days ago and may be outdated. Unwatched sections are rechecked less often than watched sections. Check the registrar before counting on a seat.

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.

2 discussions, none open. The way in is the lecture's waitlist, at 0 of 10.

No discussion is open. 2 discussions have a waitlist with room. A place on one is not a seat: it is a queue the department may or may not clear.

Workload, very light. 5.0 of 5 for Thomas Motter, where 5 is lightest. Read 14 days ago.

What the work looks like

  • 2 exams, 7 mentions in past reviews
  • Quizzes mentioned, no number given, 2 mentions in past reviews
  • Problem sets mentioned, no number given, 7 mentions in past reviews

Based on 66 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

Checked 168 of the 604 hours with hourly history, 28%. No reading was recorded in 436 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 21 Sep, which is the other 817 of 1421 plotted.40 of 40 enrolled at the newest reading, 0 minutes ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 18 Aug 18:41 to 16 Oct 22:02, 40 to 40. Recorded enrollment counts match. Checks are not continuous monitoring. Changes between checks may be missed.

A dot is a reading. Recorded enrollment counts match, so the line is flat across the whole window: it says when dibs looked rather than what changed. The last dot is the last time dibs read this section, moved or not: 0 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.
