summer session at Cal

<p>do students from other UCs do summer sessions in berkeley?</p>

<p>what do you mean it will suck?
what do i do about financial aid? they're already charging my e-bill, so should i pay it first from my bank account? or wait?</p>

<p>I am thinking about 10 units in summer as well, spread out in 2 different sessions.
Session A (6 units):
IB 117 (Ethnobotany): 2 units (Not taking lab portion)
Italian studies R5B: 4 units</p>

<p>Session C (4 units):
MCB 102 (Biochemistry): 4 units</p>

<p>Is this too much to do in one summer? Anyone have advice for R&C classes in summer (is it an overload of reading? Not advisable with other courses?) Is Italian Studies R5B known as an “easy” A? Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes, students from other schools can and do summer sessions at Cal</p>

<p>Italian Studies isn’t as hard as English/Rhetoric but isn’t as easy as German or Scandinavian ing eneral.</p>

<p>Don’t forget that your finals for the Session A class will coincide with one of the MCB midterms, and MCB will be pretty challenging even though there are open note tests.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, stly. For Italian Studies R5B (this is the one I’m thinking about dropping), wouldn’t the final just be a final paper? I haven’t taken a composition course at Cal; I AP’d out of the A portion, so I am not sure how composition courses at Cal work. Any idea on the reading load for summer sessions?</p>
