<p>Tastybeef,</p>
<p>Did your CCC classes require papers? Most of Fang Jr.'s classes involve writing. This quarter, one class required a twelve page research paper, some shorter papers, and in-class essays for midterms and finals. Another class required a six page research paper, some shorter papers, and in-class essays for midterms and finals.</p>
<p>The foreign language classes at his CCC are also <em>way</em> harder than high school.</p>
<p>Classes in other departments seem more like what you describe-- regurgitate what you learned in class. My son doesn’t like those classes, so he tries to avoid them. He will be happy to get to a four year college where he doesn’t have to take any of those classes.</p>
<p>At Fang Jr.'s CCC, Foothill, quite a few students transfer to Berkeley and UCLA every year.</p>
