<p>preferably for Fall 2007</p>
<p>Haha. I was wondering the same thing. I'll be watching this thread.</p>
<p>Poli Sci 2 w/ Robert Price.</p>
<p>yup.......</p>
<ol>
<li>ESPM 50AC with Kurt Spreyer</li>
<li>German R5A/B with Jeremy Brett (Don't Know if He's Teaching in Fall)</li>
<li>Education 190 with Anybody</li>
<li>Anything with Bill Berry</li>
</ol>
<p>There are other classes that have majority As but these are the ones with almost all As that I know about.</p>
<p>Nutri Sci 10 with Amy
Math 1A with Haiman
ESPM 50AC with Spreyer</p>
<p>good idea for a thread! :)</p>
<p>I would say basically any of those "independent research" courses that you take for credit, in which you are working on research for a prof for academic credit in lieu of pay. The course numbers vary by department (they are usually designed 19x courses). Generally speaking, as long as actually do the work that you are asked of you, it's hard not to get an A.</p>
<p>PS124A with Hassner - Class title: War!</p>
<p>Any for biology? :P</p>
<p>is art 23ac an ez class?</p>
<p>astronomy 10</p>
<p>sakky,
is this independent research course credit different from the urap program? because they only offer pass/no pass and it’s called “ugis192”. i’d much rather get a grade than units…</p>
<p>italian studies 40: italian culture with mia fuller. amazing class with ridiculously easy tests and essay prompts.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, it’s completely different.</p>
<p>An example of what I am talking about is a class like Chemical Engineering 196. I don’t know anybody who actually completed the project involved who didn’t get an A in that class. Heck, even many people who didn’t actually complete the project, but made significant progress on it and were able to successfully pass it on to the next student who was assigned to work on the project, received A’s.</p>
<p>I think the independent research thing depends on the department. For example, there is no indep. research course for LG (all indep. research courses like MCB99 or MCB199 are P/NP) under MCB department that I know so far.</p>
<p>Does anyone else find these kind of posts as disappointing as I do? I mean, if an easy A is what you want, go to a community college.</p>
<p>Leftist - where did you hear that about the new prof? I know she’s new, but she’s untried and I’m taking her! Help!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>On the contrary, there are. It’s the MCB 292 series. </p>
<p>Granted, that’s a graduate level designation, which undergrads are not “supposed” to earn. But the truth is, many (probably most) profs don’t really care and will happily sign off on graduate level credit for you if you really want it and they like your work. After all, it costs them nothing to do so. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree that there is something disappointing and sad about this subject. </p>
<p>But I don’t think the people here are to blame. The real problem is that courses are not graded evenly - and particularly, that some courses are simply graded far more harshly than are others - yet many of the things that you desire, such as grad school admissions, Rhodes/Marshall/Truman/etc Scholarship competitions, certain high-level jobs, honorifics such as graduating with distinction and Dean’s List designations, and just plain avoiding academic probation and expulsion are predicated on grades. For example, I know several people who couldn’t even get an interview for a job they really wanted because their GPA just barely missed the cutoff. If they had taken easier classes, they might be holding that job right now.</p>
<p>I think you’re right, Sakky. What strikes me, I guess, is how often Berkeley’s alleged lack of grade inflation is touted on this website, and then you come across a thread like this.</p>
