Read 18 minutes ago. This is a recent reading, not a live seat count.

dibs has seen this section open 5 times since 17 August. The last time was 2 September. 2 of those were readings where the capacity figure moved and the enrolled count did not, so dibs could not tell whether a seat existed and did not send an alert.

Enroll on the registrar (opens in a new tab) Sign in to watch for an opening

Watching is the one thing here that needs an account, because an alert needs somewhere to go. Everything else on this page works signed out.

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 3 days ago: "Undergraduate Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electrical and Computer Engineering Majors".

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. Discussion section attendance is optional.

Restrictions read 3 days ago. dibs re-reads these slowly because they rarely change; watch the section and it moves to every 6 hours.

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.

9 discussions, none open. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

No discussion is open. Whatever the lecture reads, there is currently nothing here to enroll in.

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 Dennis Briggs, where 5 is lightest. Read about 1 month ago.

dibs read 168 of the 174 hours its hourly record covers, 97%, and did not look in 6. dibs had no hourly record before 25 Sep, which is the other 923 of 1097 plotted.216 of 216 enrolled at the newest reading, 18 minutes ago, and no seats left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 15:07 to 2 Oct 07:20, 174 to 216. dibs read 168 of the 174 hours its hourly record here covers, 97%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 6 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 25 September at 02:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 923 hours of this window. 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 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: 18 minutes ago.

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.
