<p>I keep hearing that in UCSD, there's more reading than in HS. But doesn't that differ by the major, your willingness to learn, your speed at reading. For example, how much reading is "normal" for a Bio major? I'm guessing anywhere between 4-5 hours a week...am I right?</p>
<p>Average student takes four classes. Either one or more chapters a week, per class. Yeah, there's a lot of reading. A lot more work and reading than high school. </p>
<p>I've had days when I had to work all day for my classes. If you get behind, get used to spending all day Saturday at the library.</p>
<p>Why not in your dorm?</p>
<p>My mistake. You can do your studies anywhere. Your dorm, the library, the beach. I'm just a library type person.</p>
<p>Oh ok. Three chapters a week aint bad</p>
<p>well, all freshmen take their writing courses which all have a pretty big load of reading. then it depends on what other classes you have.</p>
<p>what writing courses? if u talking about entry level writing, i tested out of that</p>
<p>^same with me. I guess I have Muir 40 and Muir 50 and that's it for me right.</p>
<p>oh god...even with muir 40 and 50 its a pain in the but!!!! gah!!! but yeah... lots of boring reading for those classes...but i guess it also depends on which ta you have =/
gah get muir 40/50 over with as fast as you can!!! </p>
<p>but yeah i would say that theres lots of reading... for bild 3 it was a chapter or more per lecture (depends on the prof).... and we use the campbell books....so imagine that with other classes too.....</p>
<p>When did you finish up muir 40 and 50 gracie?</p>
<p>all this doesnt seem that bad...</p>
<p>freshman writing courses are CAT for sixth college, MMW for ERC, DOC for marshall..etc...</p>
<p>you tested out of entry level writing. everyone has to finish their college's writing course, though. it's different for each college. ERC is 6 quarters, sixth is 3 quarters. I believe Muir is only 2 quarters?</p>
<p>^Yeah that's right.</p>
<p>yeah but MMW isn't a writing course</p>
<p>Tell me that in a couple months when you're stressing out about your 6-page MMW paper -___-</p>
<p>6 page is nothing.</p>
