Is this too much work? (Chem1A and Math1A in summer)

<p>I'm doing summer classes this June and am thinking about taking Chem 1A and Math 1A. </p>

<p>Is this too much work? I've already taken calculus several times (lol), so I think I can handle it despite the new theoretical side that I haven't seen before. </p>

<p>Chemistry isn't my favorite subject, so I'd like to get it out of the way and work my butt off in the summer to fulfill the req.</p>

<p>thoughts, comments, advice?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>ok never mind, it’s not even even possible to do that haha</p>

<p>lol why not? scheduling conflict?</p>

<p>well for freshman summer classes you have to choose one class from list A and another from list B, and both are on list A :confused: </p>

<p>dang. i would’ve liked to get those out of the way asap!</p>

<p>o lol. i would get chem 1a out of the way in summer or take it during spring.</p>

<p>ok never mind i misinterpreted the website.</p>

<p>i CAN take both math 1a and chem 1a, nice. </p>

<p>now howabout this -> math 1a, chem 1a, english n1a?</p>

<p>No. just no. you are drunk.</p>

<p>berkeley’s chemistry classes are notorious for being very difficult.</p>

<p>apparently chem 1a is hard during the course of the regular school year.</p>

<p>aren’t these classes taught at an accelerated pace b/c of the summer?</p>

<p>im taking math 1a because i didnt get a 5 on the ap test -> i have to retake it. would like to get this done and over with :/</p>

<p>idk about chem though</p>

<p>OH, I’m in L&S right now but looking to transfer into CoE so I want to get most of the technical classes under my belt by the time I transfer.</p>

<p>hm yep. in that case take 1a. or else leftist woulda suggested 16a.</p>

<p>Any more advice before I sign up for these three classes in the summer?</p>

<p>yeah. don’t. lest you want to go crazy. lol
be my guest though.</p>

<p>you’re over your mind! take a effing break before college cause won’t get any afterwards.</p>

<p>do you mean in different sessions or both in one session? is it even possible in one session?</p>

<p>Well the way I see it, I’m already on break due to some intense senioritis (haven’t done anything in my classes all year).</p>

<p>I’m reassessing my decision and think that just math 1a and chem 1a would be good. I can put off english n1a until fall 09 i suppose. </p>

<p>I want to pwn Berkeley and make the math/sci/hum classes my bltch</p>

<p>good luck with that</p>

<p>thanks brah</p>

<p>truly am wishing you good luck with that plan, but also a bit skeptical as most Cal entrants were top of their classes, high-GPA study experts but the results in classes when here are quite, quite different. You are in a group of real peers for the first time, all capable of amassing 5’s on every AP and of earning A in virtually every class in HS.</p>

<p>you’re gonna work your ass off over the summer. and then end up working your ass off over the fall. and then spring. senioritis + summer = best break i’ve ever had. enjoy it.</p>
