<p>same as zemookmook except for the compulsive scheduling part : )</p>
<p>Anyone scared of the semester system, at Cal (if you’re coming from a quarter system)?</p>
<p>its better than semester…because if you have a killer quarter, its more manageable than a killer semester.</p>
<p>also, if you have a great professor, you can afford to take another course.</p>
<p>best part: finals =10 weeks of material, not 15</p>
<p>and it’s easier to procrastinate for the final…adding on to santa barbarian’s +'s</p>
<p>UCLA looks so attractive to me because it’s on quarter…</p>
<p>how about midterms, usually in my classes (semester system) we have like 5 exams scattered throughout semester, never usually more than 2 exams for different classes in the same week, but aren’t all midterms at schools with quarter system the same week? How is that?</p>
<p>Totally agree diamond, I am on a 18 week semester system right now. Finals get very hard… Remember stuff from almost 5 months ago becomes very hard.</p>
<p>^yeah I guess you guys are right. So its just like taking a summer course pretty much.</p>
<p>i like the quarter system. mission college summer session is pretty concise and quick about there topics.</p>
<p>semester sucks</p>
<p>i dont want decisions at cal to release</p>
<p>I think the biggest advantage of the quarter is that most of my finals aren’t cumulative, but I think most semester finals are.</p>
<p>for the humanities/social sciences on quarter system, you just have one midterm and one final.</p>
<p>oh hell no zemook we’ve waited for months</p>
<p>^wth?! are you serious? I have never had a final in major pre-req classes where the final is not cumulative.</p>
<p>yeah dude I wonder why they have quarter everywhere except cal</p>
<p>is anyone doing anything superstitous before the cal decision? just curious… one of my friends told me she’s not eating meat lol</p>
<p>and Merced :)</p>
<p>yeah yeah merced so berkeley wouldn’t feel lonely or something lol</p>
<p>So anyone know if UC finals are not cumulative?<br>
Also, you guys think TA’s help give direction in discussion sessions, I mean like tell you flat out what to study and what not to study?</p>
<p>Merced has a program to transfer into Cal…maybe thats why they’re on semester?</p>
