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.

Before you can enroll

Registrar's Restrictions cell, read 2 days ago: "Graduate Students".

From the registrar

Students who enroll in upper-division courses offered by the Samueli School without completing the requisites are subject to disenrollment after the second class meeting. If necessary, consult with an OASA counselor through MyUCLA Message Center.

Restrictions read 2 days ago. dibs re-reads these slowly because they rarely change, and it does not sweep graduate courses at all, so this one has no faster cadence to move to. Check the registrar.

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 29 of 30.

No discussion is open. 1 discussion has a waitlist with room. A place on one is not a seat: it is a queue the department may or may not clear.

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, heavy. 2.5 of 5 for Quanquan Gu, where 5 is lightest. Read 30 days ago.

dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.

Will it still be here

Not a question any more: see the notice at the top of this page.

Final enrollment per term from four years of grade data. Summer excluded: different population, different pass structure.

173 hours plotted. dibs took 7 readings inside them and kept no hourly record of the hours between.120 of 120 enrolled at the newest reading, about 1 month ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 24 Aug 19:40, 120 to 120. The line is flat across the whole window: recorded enrollment counts match. Changes between reads may be missed. dibs holds no hourly read record inside this window at all, so nothing drawn here says the count was checked between the readings. No hour here has a read either way, because dibs holds no read log for this section at all. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.

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, and that was about 1 month ago. It is the last thing dibs saw, not where the count is now.

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.
