<p>I told my bro to sign up for econ 1, but it looks full.</p>

<p>at second glance, I dunno what I’m talking about. Check this url out:

<p>What’s up with all the “closed” and “waitlist” designations?</p>

<p>and does ucla let you enroll 2 quarters in advance or something? It looks like econ 1 is almost full for Winter 2005 even:

<p>I see that last spring quarter, quite a handful of people dropped econ 1.</p>

<p>so enrolling in econ 1 should be easy eh?</p>

<p>well first, Winter 2005 was this past Winter quarter, not the next one.</p>

<p>Second, looks like discussion 1M has 3 places left. The waitlist positions mean that you can enroll in the section, but you aren’t technically in the class until someone drops that section and opens a spot for you.</p>

<p>hah. my bad. I knew something was wrong with that winter 2005.</p>

<p>From the looks of it, every quarter ends up having open seats for econ 1 then…</p>

<p>I told my bro to sign up for polisci 10 and econ 1, and then drop one of them later.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>with all those people at orientation, those 3 seats will be snatched up fast.</p>

<p>looks like no one likes to take class during lunchtime. 12-12:50pm</p>

<p>How’s the cafeteria food after 1pm? All cold and nasty?</p>

<p>i was in the winter quarter bresnock class that was linked above. 350/366 enrolled… it used to be filled to the max. during the midterm, there werent enough seats and ppl sat on the floor to take it!!! (worth 40% of grade!!!). then some dropped but still, the prof got the entire ackerman grand ballroom for us for the final lol. 350 ppl is a lot in a lecture. fortunately there arent too many classes that are larger that than; after your intro econ classes, your class size will probably start shrinking.</p>

<p>wow. quarter system is rough. you got 2 chances to make the grade.</p>

<p>I see that the absolute latest drop deadline is the end of the 4th week.
is the midterm before the 4th week?? … so that the people who bomb the exam can drop, and the people who want to get in can get in?</p>

<p>how long do students hold out before the class has open seats again?
If it’s anything like my college experience, I’m assuming some students just crash the discussion classes eh?</p>

<p>seems like this Mr. Allen is a humorous fellow.</p>

<p>For fall 2005, I see that there are 2 midterms and a final, the first midterm being before the drop deadline. So that’s good for those that bomb the exam.</p>

<p>Bresnock’s exam schedule seems like a load of crap.</p>
