<p>How hard is it to get an A in a 1 unit freshman seminar?</p>
<p>on a scale of 0 to hard.</p>
<p>0.</p>
<p>^ What he said.</p>
<p>There is no letter grade for 24-series (freshman seminar) class.</p>
<p>i am taking Near Eastern Studies 24 Islam and Imaginative Literature: The Making of a Problematic Relation (1 unit, LG) with prof. Muhammad Siddiq.</p>
<p>So this should be an easy A?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i never took a seminar numbered 24 (only 41 and 39), so i don’t know how veracious upmagic’s statement is, but if it is true, then you might wanna double check. unless you dont mind taking it p/np. it’s just 1 unit anyway, 1 unit “A” wont very help much in the grand scheme i dont think…</p>
<p>All freshman seminars are graded P/NP, I’ve read and heard. How much do you have to talk each class in order to pass?</p>
<p>[Near</a> Eastern Studies 24, Sec. 1](<a href=“http://fss.berkeley.edu/seminar.lasso?sem_ID=SM006427]Near”>http://fss.berkeley.edu/seminar.lasso?sem_ID=SM006427) </p>
<p>It says here that it’s letter grade.</p>
<p>i am taking a 24 also and on telebears it says that i’m taking it for a letter grade.</p>

I know it won’t help much but I am taking the class and I want to do good in it.
Has anybody had prof. Siddiq? Is he a hard prof?</p>
<p>How difficult is it to pass? How much do you have to talk each class?</p>
<p>Are we expected to know about the topic being discussed (like should we have facts or anything that we can contribute)? Or can we just mention our personal opinions?</p>
<p>On a scale of 
to :), I’d say ;)</p>
<p>Some seminars are taken for a letter grade. They still shouldn’t be difficult.</p>
<p>That being said, make sure you’re VERY interested in the subject matter. Seminars are easy in terms of grading, but they’re difficult in terms of…keeping your interest. Sure they’re only an hour a week…but you may begin to question why you’re even wasting an hour a week for a unit of P/NP. My first semester at Cal, I dropped my seminar because it was…dumb. And sure, they’re easy, but they do involve work. And you gotta do it, since they’re tiny classes.</p>
<p>This post probably makes me seem so lazy.</p>
<p>(not a fan of seminars)</p>
<p>I’m interested in taking a seminar for the fall but I’m #3 in the waitlist line. Do professors allow people to add the class or is it set to a max of 15? I’m thinking Rhetoric 24: Arguing with Judge Judy.</p>
<p>Do we usually have to do work outside of class? If so, what kind of work?</p>
<p>Aw, man! A seminar on Judge Judy?! Wish I could take it.</p>
<p><em>huge Judge Judy fan</em></p>
<p>i’m enrolled in the judge judy one :)</p>
<p>As for grading, are we supposed to indicate P/NP on Tele-BEARS when enrolling in a freshman seminar? I am pretty certain that these seminars are graded P/NP anyway, but Tele-BEARS still provides the apparent choice of opting for a letter grade…</p>
