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.

Full grade history for COMM M165

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, very light. 4.4 of 5 for Paul Von Blum, where 5 is lightest. Read 14 days ago.

What the work looks like

1 exam, 2 mentions in past reviews
1 quiz, 4 mentions in past reviews
2 papers, 5 mentions in past reviews

Based on 14 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 608 hours with hourly history, 28%. No reading was recorded in 440 hours. dibs had no hourly record before 21 Sep, which is the other 807 of 1415 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, 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.

Nobody on dibs watches this class or has it on a plan yet. Nobody has posted yet.

Reading a room needs no account. Posting does, and it is free.

When it meets

Grades i An estimate based on historical registrar grades, not a student rating. Instructor estimates are pulled toward the course and department average in proportion to how little data there is, so a twelve-person seminar cannot top the list on noise. The sample size is printed beside it.

What students say

Will it still be here i The worse of two readings: how full this section is right now, and how quickly the course has historically filled. A tier rather than a percentage, because reserved seats make any number optimistic: an open seat may be held for a major or an intake you are not in.
