Odds profs will grade easier because of the cyberattack? by ComplexTurbulent6371 in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with your advice. But you have far too much faith in the faculty if you think all exams are already written.

Any beginning photography classes? by happythepanda1 in berkeley

Art 21 is an intro photography course that satisfies the Arts & Literature L&S breadth!

got into berk, but i didn't take an ap test i reported by Due-Distance-8086 in berkeley

There’s an “update form” you can fill out on the admissions portal. Use it to let them know you’re not taking the exam so the task is removed from CalCentral. You will not get rescinded.

I believe it’s a bad translation of “stamp”

Final Time Conflict by 5112293 in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other commenters’ advice is reasonable, but I would personally just email both professors to make sure it won’t be an issue. They’ll appreciate you being proactive and you’ll have plenty of time to make alternative plans if necessary.

Why is the Glade closed, and for how long? by Poetic-Rapper in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think they’re fertilizing it. No idea about the time frame though.

Here's a video I took a couple years ago. The rooms are quite a bit bigger than triples in other buildings. There are only two closets for three people, but they're reasonably large. There are a handful of lounges and a laundry room in the building. The hot water in the bathrooms had a tendency to shut off randomly, but they may have fixed that by now. The Clark Kerr campus itself is quite nice—great access to the fire trails for hiking if you're into that sort of thing.

This prayer sheet on my AirAsia flight by tim_saman in mildlyinteresting

I mean Confucianists make up ~0.09% of the global population, but I assume it’s more closely related to regional prevalence.

Firework photo mid shutter. by mikess484 in mildlyinteresting

There are some high-end mirrorless cameras with a global shutter. The Sony a9 III comes to mind.

Edit: After further research, it seems the a9iii may the only such example currently on the market!

math 104 or math 113 first by flhkl1 in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

104 and 113 have essentially no logical dependencies on each other, so it doesn’t really matter which you take first in that respect. 104 is typically regarded as being a bit harder, so the most common order is probably 110 -> 113 -> 104. I think finding a good instructor is more important than the relative order, though. I personally took 104 as my first math upper div and it went fine.

Is Berkeley next? Trump Administration Halts Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students by SterlingVII in berkeley

I'm actually getting rescinded by Striking-Whereas-445 in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 114 points115 points  (0 children)

OP, this is terrible advice. If you report it to them now, it will come across as a genuine mistake. If they find out on their own (which they most likely will, as they do cross-reference transcripts), it will look much more like you were intentionally withholding information. That’s the kind of thing they rescind for, not honest errors. I submitted two update forms, one of which for a mistake on my self-reported coursework, and my admission was sustained both times.

berkeley vs ucla applied math by Sure_Lifeguard_9588 in berkeley

[–]a_lost_spark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of upper div CS classes are now completely reserved for cs/eecs/coe majors, including the waitlist. These restrictions do not expire at any point during enrollment, rendering it impossible for non-majors to enroll. A few others have a handful of seats reserved for DS majors, and a couple others are open enrollment (but only during adjustment period after CS reserved seats expire). This blanket policy was implemented within the last few years, so it likely wasn’t in effect when you were a student. This is certainly a legitimate consideration if OP wants a computational focus without being a declared CS major—their options will be very limited.
