<p>What is the purpose of R1A classes? Do they fulfill a certain breadth requirement?</p>
<p>they fulfill the first half of your reading and composition requirement</p>
<p>Ic. Is it recommended to use H.S. credit to pass out of the requirement?
Can the required 1 yr of english for med school be fulfilled via seminars, or is this part of the art/lit breadth requirement and the seminars specifically elective credits?</p>
<p>R1A/R1B isn't part of the breadth requirement. it's a whole separate requirement. Med schools want 1 year of english, meaning R1A and R1B. seminars can't be used to fulfill the reading composition requirement.</p>
<p>I read IB scores of 5 or higher can fulfill both halves? Doesnt that mean I can skip R1A and B? Is it still recommended to take them just for med school requisites, or are there other recommended courses aside from English R1A and B?</p>
<p>Yeah, bump urd0rkk's last post. Excellente question about med school requirement!</p>

What? Don't English R1A/R1B satisfy the Reading & Comprehension requirement (At least that's what it says for the College of Engineering)?</p>
<p>as well as for college of letters and science... i think for the whole curriculum vitae at berkeley for the matter...</p>
<p>I'm going to be applying as a Transfer Student, I will be entering Haas Schools of Business (If I get accepted) as a Junior. I need to fulfill the following as well:</p>
<p>Literature/Writing Requirement (formerly Additional English)
This requirement is in addition to the English/R & C requirement listed above and must be satisfied by the completion of one course in which literature or writing is studied, not including the courses used to satisfy the R & C requirement. Choose a writing or literature course from the Creative Writing, English or Literature departments. The course must be UC-transferable for at least 3 semester or 4 quarter units. Which writing or literature course you take for this requirement is up to you.</p>
<p>English/Reading and Composition (R&C). You must satisfy this requirement by completing courses comparable to both Berkeley's English R1A and English R1B. Students at schools other than California community colleges should go to <a href="http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/fp/29RCQuest.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/fp/29RCQuest.pdf</a> and download a copy of the R&C Questionnaire to be filled out by your professors. </p>
<p>I've taken the following:</p>
<p>1101 COLLEGE WRITING I (3 credits) Emphasis on improving skills and effectiveness in written communication through critical reading of literature, other means of observation, and extensive writing; course deals with developing authorial voice and adapting that voice to academic audiences; course covers rudiments of citing sources. Includes an oral component. Liberal Education Category 1</p>
<p>1102 COLLEGE WRITING II (3 credits) Continued emphasis on composition with concentration on use of sources, research methods, and preparation of persuasive research papers. Includes an oral component. Prerequisite: ENGL 1101. Liberal Education Category 1</p>
<p>Will that fulfill any of those requirements?</p>
<p>I've always thought they were two different requirements. There are the university requirements, which include AC, history, and reading and composition, then there are the college level requirements, which for L&S, are the seven-breadth requirements (engineers don't have to do seven-course breadth). Finally, there are your major requirements, which are the classes you must take to graduate. The R1A's aren't used to fulfill the seven course breadth (they might, I don't know), but are used to fulfill the reading and composition requirement.</p>
