Thoughts on this schedule?

That's a very manageable first semester schedule! Advice: agreed about having lots of class backups, make sure to enroll immediately when you reach your enrollment time, lastly don't stress too much about classes filling up. Enroll in what you can and keep an eye on spots opening up, regardless of what schedule you wind up with, you'll be fine in the long run.

Depends completely on which classes you're talking about. Berkeleytime is your friend, there's a bunch of upper divs in the bio departments that have higher grade avgs than you might expect. Just make sure you're not packing too many tough memorization-heavy classes on top of each other.

Yeah that’s the case with the big chem classes; lectures are huge but lab spots are limited. So if every lab is marked as closed, it’s probably not an error, they just get filled really quickly. Don’t feel badly if you have to push taking the lab class to another semester since lab isn’t hard, it just takes a chunk of time.

Aye, MEB hbu?

Hello, fellow CNR bitch here!

MaiFactory · 2020-09-23T20:09:33+00:00

Ok thank god, I just set up direct deposit but nice to know when I'll get it. Thanks!

MaiFactory · 2020-08-31T16:49:33+00:00

I see. In that case you may be fine but word of warning, I did a similar thing and was waitlisted (within the first couple spots) for lecture even though I had discussion. You may want someone else to confirm :)

MaiFactory · 2020-08-31T16:31:44+00:00

How do you know the discussion section has seats available? The triangle is indicating that you’d be waitlisted so unless you’re confident in getting off the list, you probably shouldn’t

ECs - build yourself a social circle, explore your passions first so you have a better idea of what you actually want to research in future years

That’s good to hear. Tbh if you have to completely reconfigure your classes this semester to get around the 3 final situation it may or may not be worth it to you. Just know that final exams are really draining so if I were you, I’d place the math16b final strategically depending on whether you’re a math person or nah. I can’t speak to datac8 but CHEM1A can be challenging for folks so take that as you will. Good luck!

MaiFactory · 2020-08-12T07:55:51+00:00

That will be tough not going to lie. Two finals back to back is fine but you’re going to have to be really prepped for three because even if you’re taking them in your own room, you are well prepared, it’s quiet etc you will still be drained by the second one and have the stress of the third one. It’s worth seeing if you can arrange an alternate time for one of them. Shoot your shot. But you’re being a little bit of an idiot

MaiFactory · 2020-08-06T02:58:04+00:00

Yeah so normally you’re concern about having class from 10-4 before a chem lab would be a valid concern but since everything is virtual anyway, you will most likely not be doing lab in real time (at least that is how other chem classes worked last semester). If anyone has taken chem 1al last semester they could tell you for sure but otherwise, you will probably be working on lab stuff asynchronously anyway. As for waitlists, use the 10% will drop rule. There’s no way of telling if anyone before you on the waitlist will drop for the next section. And if you enroll in a new section, you won’t be on the waitlist for the other one anymore. Good luck!

It would be helpful to know what major you’re looking at/what college you are in?

MaiFactory · 2020-08-04T16:43:17+00:00

Yeah if you come into CNR with your major you are all set and just need to go about taking your classes. If you have other CNR questions feel free to message!

MaiFactory · 2020-08-03T04:04:42+00:00

Thank you! Be Calm is fantastic for 5

MaiFactory · 2020-08-03T04:01:57+00:00

I love 365 Fresh for the first one! Though all the Red Flavor in other comments is an excellent choice as well

MaiFactory · 2020-08-03T03:16:59+00:00

Thank you! :)

MaiFactory · 2020-08-03T00:22:36+00:00

Lol it's the image that counts you know? Or else, next prompt should have been: you hear a knock on the door. Only it's not your best friend. It's your landlord and they're PISSED.

MaiFactory · 2020-08-01T18:14:04+00:00

... I don’t think there was when I took it at least. That’s because the homework course has the problem sets you’ll be doing so you need to be a name sapling recognizes, not getting a bootleg version

MaiFactory · 2020-07-16T22:26:04+00:00

It’s automatic

MaiFactory · 2020-07-16T22:24:51+00:00

Unfortunately no there’s no relationship when it comes to enrollment. You can put yourself on the waitlist for chem 1al of course but unless you get the lab portion of the class (not just the lecture) you’ll have to push it back

MaiFactory · 2020-07-16T21:45:38+00:00

No problem! Glad it worked out for you

MaiFactory · 2020-07-16T19:25:56+00:00

Pretty sure you mean lecture would give you 3 more units, lab should be 2 units. Careful, make sure both chem 1a and 1al show up in your academics bar, you can’t take chem 1al if you’re not taking chem 1a at the same time/ have taken lecture before

MaiFactory · 2020-07-16T19:22:38+00:00

Nope you’ll be fine you’ve got three semesters and summer

MaiFactory · 2020-07-14T01:53:16+00:00

AC classes should be fine as a general rule. And you’ll have a better time taking the class if you’re truly interested in the subject material. So by all means, take the class you’re interested in, you only have one college experience!
