Philosophy classes waitlists

<p>I'm thinking of taking a lower div philosophy classes, but nearly all of them have long waitlists right now. Does the dept. usually open up more space for people interested? I checked Fall 2009 class enrollments and those class sizes are significantly larger than the limits for Spring 10 ones.</p>

<p>Bump…anyone know how the profs usually feel? I’m at the very END of the waitlist. Need to know if it’s worth waiting for.</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing. If you find out, please tell me!</p>

<p>I e-mailed last Wed and finally got a response:</p>

<p>"Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, it’s unlikely you’ll get into the
class if you’re higher than number 12 or 13 on the waitlist.</p>

<p>wow…that’s really unfortunate.</p>

<p>Was there a class in particular that you wanted to take?</p>

<p>I wanted to take Nature of Mind. Maybe see if I’m interested at all in philosophy as a major. What about you? What are you taking instead?</p>

<p>well I’m at the city college starting next semester, philosopher major hoping to transfer fall 2011. They have a concurrent enrollment with UCB so I wanted to take either 12a-Logic or 25b-History of Modern Philosophy to satisfy lower devision requirements. I’ll still end up doing concurrent enrollment since BCC has barely any classes and fewer sections. there’s still a lot of seats open in political theory so I’ll probably do that. Really bummed though, hopefully the summer session isn’t as bad.</p>
