Asymmetric Information?

I was so excited when I saw the schedule request form for Fall semester. One of the courses offered is a full semester on preaching Deuteronomy. A whole semester studying Deuteronomy sounded so appealing, a great opportunity to get into the text. When I turned in my course request form, Deuteronomy was ranked as my number one selection.

While waiting to learn which courses were scheduled, I started to worry a bit. The more I thought about this, the more certain I was that by the time my registration request was processed, the Deuteronomy course would be filled with 2nd year students and this newbie would be passed over.

I was so excited when I received my schedule, and saw that I was enrolled in the Deuteronomy course.

Curious about the instructor and class size, I found the course information on the registrar's website. The course limit is 12 students and so far there are 11 remaining seats. It's been over a month. No one else has registered for the course. Hmm...What does everyone else know that I don't know?
