<p>Thanks for your response UCB. I’ve only started on most of the prerequisites for 496A this Fall 2011, so I won’t be able to take 496A yet. From what I remember, they haven’t updated their site yet. 491A/B has been changed into 496A, B, and C… which sucks, from what I am reading on the website, it looks like 491A and B used to be offered consecutively throughout the year. I hope they can also offer 491A/B as a substitute.</p>
<p>The supervised independent study project sounds like a good idea. Who should I talk to about that? The department chair? Or the dean or somebody? I don’t want to **** anyone off by going to a higher-up…</p>
