<p>Hi Everyone</p>
<p>I go to USC but I’m interested in taking some courses over the summer through UC Berkeley extension. Basically, I want to get some credits during the summer but I actually want to do some travel and such, which I can’t really do if I take summer courses at 'SC (since there’s basically only 1-2 weeks from the end of spring to start of summer, then from end of summer to start of fall) So:</p>
<li>Anyone have experience with UC Berkeley extension? Is it reasonable to do 4 semester units in about a 2 to 2.5 month period of time?</li>
<li>Speaking of semester units, is Berkeley on a semester system? I know UCLA and UCSD are on quarter…but the thing says 4 semester units…</li>
<li>Finally anyone taken or even ever heard of this course, history of the english language? Easy? Hard? Worthwhile? Waste of time?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<li> The History of the English Language. (4) Three hours of lecture per week. The history of the English language from its Indo-European roots, through its Old, Middle, and Early Modern periods, as preserved in the literary heritage, to its different forms in use throughout the world today.</li>
