Am I gonna have no life?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>Okay social skills, looks, attractiveness to the opposite gender aside, am I not going to have a life next year if I take this schedule:</p>

<p>Astronomy c10 (4 units)
Theater R1b (4 units)
Philosophy 12a (4 units)
Political Science 2 (4 units)</p>

<p>That’s a whopping 16 units; will I die next year, assuming I’m going for straight A’s or A-'s in all of them?</p>

<p>Like do any of these classes require a lot of hard work/heavy reading in particular? Or do they consume relatively little time outside of class/discussions? </p>

<p>I’d appreciate advice from anyone who may have taken or knows someone who may have taken any of these classes before.</p>

<p>hmmmm. no offense, but that looks far from suicidal to me.</p>

<p>two of those are breadths, phil 12a is supposed to be super easy. if anything, the r1b might be a little work…</p>

<p>i think you’ll be fine…</p>

<p>i’ve heard that philosophy 12a is one of the easiest classes ever…simple logic that everyone should know. Poli Sci2 just involves a lot of reading. Your schedule actually looks quite easy.</p>

<p>I haven’t taken any classes at Cal yet, but I’ve heard that Astronomy 10C is a joke, as is Philosophy 12a. “Dying” will depend on your own ability. </p>

<p>Ex: Someone could still take the easiest courses and get Bs. Someone I know took about 26 units (nontrivial) per semester and got a 4.0. Only you know how good you are at studying/how smart you are.</p>

<p>Your schedule looks really really easy, assuming that you don’t suffer from any mental disabilities.</p>

<p>This schedule looks great. Are you an incoming freshman?</p>

<p>I took Astro and PS2. Astro was easy, just not really my thing. Some people really liked it though. An A- at very least in PS2 is easily obtained.</p>

<p>By the way… A ‘whopping’ 16 units is actually the average and suggested course load! On the other hand, it was nice reading a schedule thread that wasn’t the usual ‘OMG EECS MAJOR HALP PLZ IS 40 UNITS SUICIDAL?’ and I actually had taken some of the classes being mentioned!</p>

<p>If anything, you’ll have too much time that you won’t know what to do with, even if you fill it up with everything you can think of.</p>
