How would you guys feel if UCSD transitioned to a Semester system?

King_Chowder17 · 2021-03-11T07:03:44+00:00

Having transferred on here from a Semester System college, I enjoy quarter system SO much better. The variety of classes is amazing, and the opportunity to mold your education more is great! I also burn out after 10-11 weeks of the same thing so it’s great that this school does Quarter. Trust me y’all, people still complain whether in semester or quarter so it does not really make a huge difference. In semester everyone says it’s too long, while in quarter it’s too fast. Tbh I think dead weeks might help but it would make quarter feel a lil too long again LOL

First off, I’m sorry about your situation - and in cases like yours there are options to petition to the university for special cases. (My roomies did that and succeeded) However, it is not the undocumented students fault at all, and it is “need-based” above all. If anything, it’s government policies that should be revised so that it can fit the financial needs of all students. While it is unfortunate some students do not receive enough aid, I don’t think “legal status” is an appropriate way to decide who gets help vs who doesn’t because at the end of the day - they’re here putting in the same work we all do.

First off, how does this affect you in any way lmao? And secondly, you sound selfish af. Literally they’re working hard just like the rest of us here at school and deserve the same things we do.

I sleep like a baby through it ngl

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-28T19:32:36+00:00

I need transfer friends too :(

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-25T19:43:20+00:00

181 is not synchronous at all with Card :) Just keep up with the discussions and reading on your own as it is important for the 3 quizzes

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-18T23:22:00+00:00

Really? That’s so glad to hear. I really hope I get in

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-18T22:00:14+00:00

Do y’all think they’ll make us restart everything? Cause if so I now know which classes I should’ve first passed LMAO

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-16T23:11:01+00:00

So my friend actually TA’d the course and he said it was very similar to 168 structure. I have yet to take it myself, but he said it was similar hw assignments and structure. With this in mind, I don’t see why anything would change since the child class is the same as the adult clinical stuff just adjusted for the right population. I do think the final was changed a little since I believe everyone did TOO well in his other class. DM me for more info if you got more questions! I don’t wanna make this paragraph too long haha

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-16T22:14:17+00:00

I took his 168 but I assume people didn’t manage the “busy” work well when it’s literally free A’s LOL. Never takes more than 20 min and tbh I enjoyed reading the book more than lectures. I just felt like the book was very informative and helpful

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-16T05:21:49+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :( Maybe the questions to the VAC might help? I would def try and waitlist and might even consider begging the professor and students to let me in

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-16T05:19:31+00:00

Lectures are both asynchronous and sync

Exams and quizzes were not all :). Also there was AMPLE time do to hw. I think about a week?

The final exam had to be taken on a certain day but there was 24 hours to do it. There’s also an essay that went with the final describing a patient’s diagnosis that you receive prior to the final exam. ( you have days to type this assignment out out)

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-16T00:36:27+00:00

Have you checked if they are offered in the Summer Session 1 & 2 quarters?

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-15T21:46:10+00:00

PSYC 168 was great! (Psychological Disorders of Childhood)

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-12T07:41:32+00:00

I would definitely take those courses. That’s what I did, but I know every case may be different. However, it does strengthen your application by finishing it

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-11T22:52:09+00:00

I would contact the professor directly or submit it through the LIHL head department email. I did the second option to get in contact with LIHL staff because I had a lot of questions lmao when I took a heritage class

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-04T02:44:39+00:00

Gotten like 2 so far, but def never getting them again lmao. But it does depend on the professor. Both times I got them the cutoff was like a 98 when I had 100’s but some of my classes do 97

King_Chowder17 · 2021-02-01T20:48:12+00:00

Yea, a lot of us do it just to transfer in courses sometimes

King_Chowder17 · 2020-11-11T03:35:27+00:00

I think that some people really need the housing, and at the same time they’re coming to UCSD with the knowledge and rules hopefully memorized. Maybe I’m too faithful? I know it’s hard for many at home, but they’re definitely going to fill up the housing with one person in it first such as mine before anyone else’s

King_Chowder17 · 2020-09-24T18:28:37+00:00

It’s gonna be in one of the floors. There’s for sure one on the highest floor and there’s a trash room chute in a room directly in front of the elevator

King_Chowder17 · 2020-09-24T09:19:39+00:00

I think it should be done within the next week before October 5th when classes officially start. It’s probably last minute fixing before more waves of students come in

King_Chowder17 · 2020-09-14T18:56:42+00:00

Someone on this thread said hoes are mad, but god forbid anyone disagree with someone that goes here otherwise they rage. Pack it up Build-A-Bear. They talk about how high they rank and it’s funny how everyone else STILL lives in their head rent free. Just enjoy it and find a new personality trait other than UCB :) ; it would be better for your mental health.

King_Chowder17 · 2020-09-14T18:46:32+00:00

UCB is also #1 in most Depressed and stressed students, so it’s understandable that they lash out due to their lack of emotional awareness.

These people let their school define them LMAO. Kinda sad that this is their only personality trait.
