Lecture @ Berkeley

Transfer Students

<p>I thought some of you would like to know what some of the prof. are like and what topics are covered in the general classes. I found this website (<a href="http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/index.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/index.php&lt;/a&gt;) with podcasts and webcasts of leture in the larger classes for some of the intro courses. Enjoy.</p>

<p>I watched a couple of them, a general bio course and a intro physics course, nothing too differnet than what you would get in a CC course with a good instructor.</p>

<p>Yeah, good link. It's good, I think, to examine the upper division classes in particular, as they should contrast the most with community college work.</p>

3

<p>yea I saw some of those...I hope UCLA's aren't like that...soo boring</p>

4

<p>Man, I'd never go to class if it were on there, which is bad because I probably wouldn't end up watching it on there either.</p>

5

<p>It's interesting that those are provided for free...Calnet ID not required.</p>

6

<p>I agree. There's even some about.com article that links to them as a free education resource.</p>

7

<p>I bet an ivy would never do that. They don't seem to be as concerned with providing access to education.</p>

<p>I think this course is calc 2. Unfortunately, the whole class is boring too!</p>

<p>wow I didn't even know UCLA has webcast of courses...their database is pretty short though..o well</p>

<p>I'm listening to the Econ 100A class which I'm required to take...It sounds completely like a community college class except he speaks with more authority lol. Hmm but he said that 100A is the "hardest social science class you probably will ever take at Berkeley," and I'm wanting to take the harder 101A...I think he's full of it :p</p>

11

<p>the thing about community college is that you don't know if you are smart or if the teacher is easy...I got As in all of my math classes, calc II, Calc III, lin. alg, diff. eq...but I thought the teacher was ridiculously easy for some reason....but many people in my class ended up with Cs and Ds...***</p>

<p>If you didn't need to study hard, the professor is probably easy. Nevermind that there are students who fail in your class, they won't be transferring to UCLA anyways.</p>

Yep.........</p>

14

<p>Knowing the intellectual capacity of those around you, say at Berkeley versus at a community college, has an impact on the way you perceive the class.</p>

15

<p>well it's not that I studied hard...I studied a lot of those classes..especially Calc 2, 3 and lin. alg...</p>
