<p>This post is going to be a bit hard to follow, so please bare with me! <3</p>

<p>I already enrolled in my Japanese Studies class, and it looks like this in my murrent class schedule:</p>

<p>JAPN 10A First Year Japanese 5.00 L Kameda, Noriko</p>

<p>567299 LE A00 08:00a - 09:20a TuTh HSS 2152<br>
TU A01 08:00a - 08:50a MWF HSS 1106B<br>
TU A02 09:00a - 09:50a MWF HSS 1106B<br>
FI 12/05/2006 08:00a - 10:59a Tu TBA </p>

<p>And I was wondering, since there are two Tutorials listed, do I go to both, or do I elect to go to only one?</p>

<p>With my calculations, each week, I'll be going to Lecture for 2:40, and (if I choose to go to 1) Tutorial for 2:30 / (if I choose to go to 2) Tutorial for 5:00.</p>

<p>At first glance, I was expecting to go to both, but I did some more reasearch regarding summer -> fall scheduling and found this:</p>

<p><a href="http://japan.ucsd.edu/pages/courses.html#Fall%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://japan.ucsd.edu/pages/courses.html#Fall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>According to that, students in the summer session went to Lecture for 9:10 and Tutorial for 8:45 a week.</p>

<p>If I were to make sense of this by trascribing the general ratio into the fall quarter over from summer, it would mean I'd be going to only 1 tutorial section a week.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any information regarding this? And I'm very sorry for being somewhat incoherent and jumpy with my information (it is 4am). :{</p>

<p>Thanks for any help coming my way, everyone.</p>

<p>I found this for you:</p>

<p><a href="http://www-muir.ucsd.edu/ge/foreign.htm#jpn%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www-muir.ucsd.edu/ge/foreign.htm#jpn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This web site makes it look like you have to do all of them. Even though it does say 3 lectures and two tutorials per week, and yours is the other way around..</p>

<p>Maybe the other tutorial is the "language lab". ??? </p>

<p>That is A LOT of hours for a class though...</p>

<p>And I don't think they would enroll you in both tutorials if you were only supposed to have one.</p>

<p>(Lol, up a bit late. But then again, so am I.)</p>

<p>Ouch, that's a lot of hours for a class.<br>
That's a reason why I opted to do Fine Arts and Humanities, instead of Humanities and Foreign Language as I originally planned.
Both Japanese and Chinese sounded really really fun though... Oh well.</p>

<p>Diana, do you know if IB clears the foreign language GE? I got a 7 on the HL Spanish exam and all the school says is that I'm exempt from Linguistics 1C/1CX and 1D/1DX :&lt;/p>

<p>I thought the foreign language GE was to take 3 classes.<br>
Looking at the Muir website, the foreign language GE is technically either 10A-B-C or 20A-B-C (no word of any C-D-E deal schmeal) so hmm. That is confusing. If your IB score clears you from Linguistics 1C and 1D, then maybe you can just take Spanish 1E (if there's such a thing) and be done with your foreign languages.</p>

<p>But I can imagine that the credit you got from the IB score goes toward that language only? I don't think you'd be able to skip in Japanese (not that you'd probably want to anyways).</p>

<p><em>is confused myself and just rambled</em></p>

<p>I'd say, email a counselor. :D
They respond pretty quick (at least the Sixth college ones did.)</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think I'll just call the Muir Academic Advising Office tomorrow; hopefully they're not swamped with calls and can get to me pretty quickly :&lt;/p>

<p>Sweet. Muir advising has great client service and didn't even put me on hold.</p>

<p>Got this taken care of.</p>

<p>Thanks, Jackie and Diana.</p>

<p>oyama, what exactly did you find out? Are you supposed to take all tutorial classes or one per MWF or one per week?</p>

<p>All tutorials. There's a reason it's a 5 unit class :&lt;/p>
