<p>Question 1: In terms of classes with lecture and lab/lecture and discussion, aka math 1a and math 1a discussion, and chem 1a and chem 1a lab, is there one grade for both lecture and lab/discussion? Or do lecture and lab/discussion get separate grades?</p>
<p>Question 2: Do we take our exams in our lecture hall or discussion class?</p>
<p>Question 3: Should I bring my bike on move-in day itself, or should I wait some time before bringing it? Also, is there a place to keep bikes near the residence halls/classes/restaurants/etc...?</p>
<p>Question 4: How is GPA calculated with -'s and +'s? Is a B- equal to a B+ on the gpa scale?</p>
<p>Question 5: Does anyone know what date exactly they post our local berkeley res hall address with room and floor number on bearfacts?</p>
<p>Question 6: How much will my actual cal grant award differ from the estimated cal grant award?</p>
<p>You don't have to answer everything, just help with what you know. Thanks in advance</p>

<li><p>You may bring your bike on move-in day, there will be racks for you to lock your bike in located with your residence hall. Which dorm are you going to be in? I’m not sure about classes and restaurants though.</p></li>
<li><p>I thought they would post this earlier on Bearfacts, but I guess not. Last year I think they released it two to three weeks before we moved in.</p></li>

<p>if it is one class, even if it has lecture and discussion sessions, you get one grade. Actually, grade is usually produced by the GSI teaching your discussion session, but under the supervision of the prof doing the lectures. Usually, there are guidelines and sometimes meetings between all the GSIs for a course to have as much consistency and fairness as possible. </p>
<p>Question 2: Do we take our exams in our lecture hall or discussion class?</p>
<p>Sometimes option c) - big courses may use some other large space, e.g. a gym, for exams. By late November, the locations will be posted on Bearfacts (under registration - final exam schedules)</p>

This should already be visible to you.</p>
<p>hmmm. well, the residence folks do reserve the right to make shuffles right up until the day you check in (and later if requesting a transfer or if in a forced quad). Guess this year they are going to leave you all hanging. The welcome letters on the move-in day web site point to a somewhat broken page that promises you final info on a date that has already passed.</p>
<p>for midterms/finals, they sometimes aren’t during lecture but in the evening, they’ll tell you this first. other courses like chem 3a/3al have separate grades but this is b/c you sign up for them separately.</p>
