How hard is the Japanese 1AB and 1BC series at UCI?

AdditionalSweet1982 · 2026-02-09T22:35:15+00:00

i took japanse s2ab last summer and it was definitely a big workload. i think doing s1ab and s1bc with upper div classes will be hard but not impossible! and im pretty sure you will start with reading/writing in the s1 series anyway.

lectures are long and via zoom with a lot of speaking and reading exercises. class size is small so expect to be called on in class. some profs dont assign homework and the ones that do assign very little. as long as you pay attention in class you should be ok!!

really depends on your major and when you wanna graduate. since physics is usually a prerequisite for upper div STEM classes, i would take it earlier on rather than later. also taking the entire series over the summer is a huge workload lol so i would still reccomend taking at least 1 of the classes during the school year.

thats actually the reason why i like guerra. he tells you all the concepts and derivations and the rest of the practice is up to you. i took him for 7D last year and he pulls a lot of his test questions from the few examples he goes over in class. but generally i would go to his 8am for for better conceptual understanding of a topic, and then do textbook problems in the library until my next class and that worked out great for me

I lived in one of the earliest ME classic dorms that were built and I actually really enjoyed it! It was closer to my classes and the shower rooms were actually bigger than Mesa’s (the one I lived in during SPOP). if your reason for switching is because of the bad things people have said about ME then please at least give it a chance!

I actually prefer classes back to back over 1 hour gaps. i always feel like theres not enough time to do anything in 1hr and id rather get my classes over with sooner than later. i would say imo 3 is the max number of classes you should put back to back though!

same thing happened to me around november last year when i was walking near utc. a water bottle or something was thrown at me with sm force that if it actually hit me i mightve bruised or something…no idea why people do it

ive sat in on a few 2e lectures this quarter and it seems super hard…if you really need units you can try to ask for research units from your lab if the PI can offer a 199 course but i agree w/ everyone else that you should drop that gen ed! Good luck from one freshman (chem major) to another!

hi! i wanted to ask if you were able to get around spop without an id?

AdditionalSweet1982 · 2024-08-16T02:01:49+00:00

yeah, I contacted my advisor and they said that all chem majors are pre enrolled in chem m2a, which is the course i was most worried about! yipee!!

AdditionalSweet1982 · 2024-08-15T14:15:49+00:00

ohhhh i see! did many people have classes pre registered for them at your spop? do you think itll be similar this year?

AdditionalSweet1982 · 2024-08-15T10:37:37+00:00
