<p>Hey everyone! I'm coming to berkeley on exchange and was just curious about a couple of things. I'm enrolled as mechanical engineering major. I just had a couple of questions about the schedule/timetable - I have to start choosing my courses tomorrow.</p>
<p>Just looking at the online schedule, a couple of the classes don't have times for the labs (eg. ME132)? How would I go about finding them out? I was also trying to arrange my timetable to see what I was working with and a couple of my classes clash. Are their any restrictions to clashing classes? Like if a lecture for class A is at the same time as a lab of class B would I just go to teh lab? Or do I have to try and figure out a timetable that has no clashes?</p>
<p>I've also heard a lotta stories about people coming and then finding out that classes have been cancelled by the professor - as in they just don't run for that particular term for one reason or another. This that common?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>lol...i know i wrote this ages ago...but if anyone can help...
dw about the times for the labs...someone told me that the instructors decide this with students...</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>A general answer of my best guess:</p>
<p>Does the system even allow you to enroll in classes that clash time-wise? I think that generally people don't do that.</p>
<p>Some courses have labs/sections, whatever assigned after class begins. </p>
<p>If the class is on the schedule of classes, it's most likely to take place. If it is cancelled it will show up as cancelled. </p>
<p>Anyway once the semester starts, there is some flexibility in adding/dropping/changing courses the first few weeks. So I wouldn't be too worried about all of this.</p>
<p>thanks! the one that i'm planning to enrol in the clash one in phase 2...so not sure how thats gonna go...hoping i can meet with the lecturer to work something out?
yeah...i gotta deal with my home uni's dates for enrolling and dropping classes which ends on august 31...so 4 days isn't a huge timeframe to deal with it...lol</p>
<p>Call them professors in the US, not lecturers. Unless they are graduate student instructors, then you usually call them by name. You'll see what you can do, I doubt if the system will allow you to sign up for a course that clashes with another course, and the professor can't do anything about it. But I may be wrong.</p>
