<p>The add date is coming up.
What’s an easy class that we can currently add?</p>
<p>Bump…10 ca</p>
<p>religious studies 166</p>
<p>Any language except russian. People say languages are hard but you barely get any homework and it really ISNT that hard…</p>
<p>If the class you add has a waitlist (but on schedule.berkeley.edu says that there’s extra spots), what happens after friday?</p>
<p>Don’t add a language course. The day-to-day class in a language course may be relatively easy, but dropping in a quarter into the class is the worst idea ever. 1) You’ve probably already missed two unit exams, compositions, and a bunch of reading. Also homework assignments are daily so you’ve missed that too. 2) Most departments probably closed new registration two weeks ago.</p>

<p>And if you’re not enrolled by Friday you get dropped from the waitlist. The instructor may decide for whatever reason not to let you in the course even if there’s room. Only way to know is to ask the professor.</p>
<hr>
<p>My advice is add a lecture-only course like EPS 80 where the information is not so obscure that you can just wikipedia the topics you’ve missed. (Edit: fyi EPS 80 is cancelled but I’m sure there’s a similar class.)</p>

<p>Music 29 says that it has six available seats, but when you click on it, there’s only a wait-list option. The labs aren’t full, either…does anyone know what’s going on?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Any language except Russian? Why is that? No way is Russian harder for a native English speaker than say, Arabic or Korean - is the Russian department just especially brutal?</p>
<p>I’ve found Russian classes to be perfectly reasonable.</p>
<p>Not an easy class but my rhetoric 103b class has its first paper due next week and after asking around, no one has started the paper or done the reading so you’d fit in just fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, adding a language course right now is an absolutely terrible idea, and I think most instructors teaching language courses would strongly discourage you from joining and they probably wouldn’t even let you. Missing a month of instruction (when class meets for an hour five days a week) is A LOT. And one of the biggest parts of a language course is the learning that’s done in class.</p>
<p>Most language classes have taken 2-3 tests by now, not to mention all of the writing assignments and exercises.</p>
<p>Language courses tend to be rather easy grade-wise (albeit not always, especially at the higher levels) but there’s a lot of work, and it’s simply too late in the game to catch up.</p>
<p>I am wondering the same thing, need 1 more units to meet the min requirement =S</p>
<p>Some decals may be open.</p>
<p>We’ve taken like 1 Test which was like a 20 minute test in my language class. It’s possible to join if you’re willing to put in the time and effort and if the prof lets you. They make it sound like they’ve covered so much but it’s all exaggeration.</p>
<p>How about… Math 185? </p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>We’ve taken 2 tests and 2 quizzes in my German 2 class…and we’ve had two essays, at least twelve homework assignments, and two chapters of workbook assignments…so it’s not exaggeration, but it does vary based on the department.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bother with a language class, even if it is a language you have experience with already (eg. took four years of hs French, going back to French 1 or 2) since it’s still a load of work to turn in. I doubt teachers are going to be happy going back to grade stuff they were supposed to grade weeks ago.</p>
<p>(and maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find the daily assignments of the Chinese Y series easy at all! It’s two years of Chinese packed into one. Grrrr.)</p>
<p>Just go with a decal! Look around, pick something that’s only had a session or two.</p>
