<p>Hello, I'm an incoming transfer student to Berkeley. I want to take English 125D, but I'd also really like to take Classics 121 - unfortunately, they are pretty much back to back - 121 ends at 330 in Tan, and 125D starts at 330 in Barrows. Would it be realistic to try to attempt to take these two, or do professors tend to be pretty strict on punctuality?
Thank you!</p>
<p>(The professors are Bulloch (121) and Jones (125D) ). Thanks!</p>
<p>Berkeley has this thing we call “berkeley time” where anything is basically 10 minutes forward. If a class goes from 12:00-1:00, it actually starts at 12:10 officially.</p>
<p>gives you a ten minute transition time to move from one class to the next.</p>
<p>Do they still end at the same time? i.e. Will the 330 class still end at 330 even if it started 10 minutes late?</p>
<p>And thanks!</p>
<p>Things start 10 minutes later than the listed time but end on schedule It only works because uniformly every start has a ten minute buffer built in for transit time.</p>
<p>Tan to Barrows in 10 minutes is doable (especially as it’s all downhill), and as has been mentioned classes end on time but start 10 minutes “late”, so just pick a seat close to the doors in the earlier class and you should be fine :)</p>
