<p>I'm planning on taking Biology 1B with Berkeley Summer Sessions. I was interested in taking one more class (possibly Econ 1 or Stats 2) - would this be manageable, or will I already have my hands full with just Bio 1B?</p>
<p>most people tell me that Stats 2 is a really easy class, so I'd say it's perfectly doable.</p>
<p>The difficulty of Stats 2 depends on the professor. Purves is difficult and tricky while other professors are not as bad. Ultimately, it depends on your own performance. If you can handle a regular semester courseload, then you should be fine in the summer with some extra diligence.</p>
<p>I am doing Chem 3A and Stats 134 this summer.</p>
<p>Bio 1B is really easy. You should hope for Feldman.</p>
<p>What about Econ 1 with Bio 1B?</p>
<p>yeah bio 1b is quite an easy & fun class
Feldman is the BEEEEEEEEEST
he goes to EVERY SINGLE lab sessions EVERY WEEK. he's crazy & extremely enthusiastic.</p>
<p>I heard Bio 1B is easy over the summer.</p>
<p>what about chem 3b?</p>
<p>Depends on the professor. If it's Viernes, watch out. He's pretty tough.</p>
<p>Viernes was easier during the summer than during the fall. During the summer he did not require you to know NMR.</p>
<p>"I am doing Chem 3A and Stats 134 this summer."</p>
<p>That's hardcore. Stats 134 has been one of the most difficult classes I've taken. And we all know what Chem 3A is like.</p>
<p>Bio 1B with Powers is not a piece of cake as everyone says it is. It's very easy to get a B in that class if you don't fully understand the material.</p>
<p>Viernes isn't horribly difficult. His notes and lectures are clear. I think people whined too much about petty things during the fall semester when he taught.</p>
<p>Yup, Powers sucks big time. Her exam questions pretty much screwed my final up. Vierne's midterms, especially the first one, was tough. But his final was doable because he tells you exactly what to prepare for beforehand. I took both these classes last semester.</p>
<p>Classes during the summer are generally much easier than during the regular semester because lecturers cut out 50% of the material. Take Stats 2...that class is easy.</p>
