<p>If you have classes right after each other, like Physics 7A Dis at Leconte and then Hindi1A at Dwinelle right after, how do you get to class on time and do you get marked down for being tardy like in high school?</p>
<p>I have this concern too haha.</p>
<p>Classes actually start 10 minutes after they are scheduled (i.e. 1:00 is really 1:10).
It is called Berkeley time</p>
<p>Oh my question is moreso can you be late and not suffer penalties? Or, even better, not attend lectures o.o (Do you have to attend discussions?)</p>
<p>you can be late and not suffer a penalty if the class is big enough. Same goes for discussions. It depends on size. If the class is >100 or maybe even 50, then you can get away with it because the GSI/professor won’t know your name. If the GSI knows your name, then it will most likely hurt you to miss class or be late.</p>
<p>However, getting to know your GSI helps when the end of the semester comes around. If you demonstrate the fact that you are trying to learn the material (say by going to office hours or other ways), GSIs will probably give your the benefit of a doubt. This could be the difference between a B+ and an A-… and we all know how big of a difference that can be.</p>
<p>HelloAll is missing a disclaimer: only applicable to humanities courses. There’s no such benefit of the doubt in engineering courses in my experience.</p>
<p>^thanks to all of you. This question was bothering me for some time since I have consecutive classes on other sides of the school.</p>
<p>Leconte to Dwinelle is below 10 minutes easy, unless you dilly-dally after class. Now if you’re talking Barker to Pimentel, then you’ll have a problem.
You’ll get away with lectures being tardy (the professors don’t really care; think about it, they get paid regardless of your presence), but GSIs will take attendance usually for the first two weeks because people are switching and dropping. Your best bet if you find yourself constantly late to a discussion/class taught by a GSI is to just tell your GSI at the end of class that you come from _______ so you might not be on time. They should understand…if not…well lol have a fun time.</p>
