Also, if you look at the actual class registration page on Calcentral, Academics, to the right, class enrollment, you can click on labs and discussions and see if any seats are reserved. FPF classes are reserved if you’re in FPF and Freshman seminars are reserved, but only a few main classes have reserved seats for freshmen. The phases help though. Phase 1, 13.5 units, Phase 2, 17.5 units.
@ProfessorPlum168 I agree. International classes are annoyingly hard to find. They’re worse than Philosophy. Global 10A is good and I recommend using it as a backup plan if your other classes get filled up before you can enroll in them this semester. Get International covered.
CS61A is archived. There’s a tab called course captures on either Bcourses or calcentral that has the whole semester downloaded.
Avoid gaps. They suck. Anything longer than 2 hours is bad, unless it’s 3 hours around lunch which isn’t horrible, but you still have to decide whether the break warrants the walk back and whether it’s worth the travel time. Gaps are good for doing homework but they keep you on campus for longer than you’d like. People do generally avoid morning classes. Sometimes people avoid Friday classes but only by being willing to take random classes specifically for the purpose of avoiding Friday classes. Late Friday classes aren’t that bad. I like either being done by noon 8-12:30 or going from noon late 12-5. Going from 8-5 gives you at least one day off (like Tuesday or Wednesday) but days off are less productive than you think and you’ll wish you had spread it more evenly.
