<p>Did you call them elvis? what did they say?</p>
<p>ohh i didn't know if that was the right thing to do........ill try to call them right now and then i'll post what happens</p>
<p>what in the world is UC? university of California, can you people survive in the EAST?</p>
<p>no dice today they are closed up........hey Bichaso........WESTSIDE</p>
<p>Even if you need the Anthro class to complete IGETC, you still may have completed breadth some other way. You should look into that. If you don't absolutely need this class, then I think you'll be okay.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, I'm in the same situation. I'm worried I might get a D or F in one of my philosophy classes. It's the only class that is listed as a major prerequisite that transfers to Berkeley from my community college, too. I'm can do my IGETC without it, though, but I'm really worried about getting my admission revoked. I think it was a major prerequisite at UCLA, too, so if it gets revoked at Berkeley, it'll probably get revoked at UCLA. Other than that, I have all As in my two years at community college, except for maybe 3 Bs. (sigh)</p>
<p>sarcasmgirl, did you finally decide on CAL?</p>
<p>
Hahaha, sorry I didn't notify you!</p>
<p>I'll submit my SIR and pay the $100 deposit as soon as I find out that I'm getting at least a C in that class. I'm getting too stressed out about it. I think the absolute worst thing that can happen at this point is that every single UC I've applied to revokes my admission and I have to be at community college for another semester or two. Bleh. Though I'm pretty sure at least UCI wouldn't do such a thing--but who knows?</p>
<p>Also, I forgot to tell you that I think I found you on MySpace a little while ago. I tend to spy on people and stalk them on MySpace, especially people I used to know from elementary, middle and high school. So sad. Anyway, my point is I think you're a friend of someone I went to high school with, cause you have the same username on MySpace, right?</p>
<p>Getting a "D" does not necessarily mean your admission will be revoked, only that it is a possibility, whereas it was impossible if you met the requirements.</p>
<p>
Yah, I understand that well enough, but it doesn't mean I should worry any less, especially if it's a major requirement. Also, I can't remember, but were you the one that took Ancient Greek Philosophy with Grimes last semester? That's the one I'm getting all worked up over.</p>
<p>"Yah, I understand that well enough, but it doesn't mean I should worry any less, especially if it's a major requirement."</p>
<p>It's philosophy; the prereqs do not matter in that case, ESPECIALLY for Berkeley. </p>
<p>That is the best class a person could ever take. Why are you unsure? He usually has your grade for you at the end...is the class over yet?</p>
<p>
How can you say that with such certainty though?</p>

No, the last day of class is tomorrow. He's giving me my revised essay tomorrow and is letting us turn it in to him on Monday. Which happens to Memorial Day, so school will be closed, so I'll have to remind him about that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I agree with you that it's a terrific class, but I'm probably one of those people you hate who never participate in class. :( :( :( And I haven't really written anything serious since the end of 2004 (for an English class), so my writing has gotten pretty rusty.</p>
<p>I can say that with certainty from talking to transfer advisors. Philosophy is not one of the majors they care about prereqs with. Most CCCs dont even have prereqs for the major; I know many who were accepted who had none completed.</p>
<p>So, you are taking the final tomorrow, too, or is it just a day to receive the essay? I remember that I got a "B" on the essay and revised it twice, and the last time he just filed it away so I couldn't keep trying. I remember that after I received the first revision back and the grade was still a "B," I was ecstatic--for the first time I felt like a professor was actually upholding useful standards. I learned more in that class than most of my previous community college coursework put together.</p>
<p>I don't think he really grades your writing, just your attempt to understand the material. He doesn't lower your grade for bad syntax or grammatical errors, unless the error ruins your message.</p>
<p>
Hmm, he kind of dodged the question as to whether we were going to have a test or not tomorrow. He was asked, "Are we going to have a test on Thursday?" to which he answer "Did I give you a list of questions?" which he did, so I'm guessing he's just going to give us a sheet with some questions and answers to write down. But he already made it a point that he doesn't like grading anything, so I have a feeling that it'll be possible for the test to fall through. But either way, he says he'll give me back my essay tomorrow for me to rewrite.</p>
<p>Did he have a test in your class? Or was the essay the only thing determining your grade?</p>

Eh, I don't think I explained what I was worried about very well. He probably did the same for your class, but he gave us a very vague description about what he wanted us to write and I already understand he doesn't like it when we make inferences, so that resulted in my paper being full of quotes and summarizations.</p>

Don't they also take into (great) consideration that... you actually failed a class (any class!)?
[/quote]
They will be reasonable. One class, again, does not necessarily mean a revocation of admission.</p>
<p>We had a test and a paper. I would assume a test is coming if you haven't done one. It covered the latter portion of Is it All Relative? (the analogy section), in addition to the dialogues. Also, did he give the option to memorize Proclus' 13th proposition?</p>
<p>What do you mean that he doesn't like it when you make inferences? My paper was graded down for not making enough inferences; it was almost all quotes, and I did not explain my reasoning well enough, did not expound the inferences enough. He wants you to make inferences BASED STRICTLY on the material--a strict adherence to the explicit words of the material.</p>

Haha yeah, but only one girl is attempting to memorize it. I think she's recited it to him about 2 times so far, and she keeps messing up or something.</p>

I guess when I refer to "inferences" it means reading into the text and writing what's not there. Another word for it, I suppose, would be "interpretation". Maybe you yourself make a differentiation between the two?</p>
<p>DUDE, MEMORIZE IT. It is not that difficult. If you are really in trouble that can take you from a "D" to a "C."</p>

Making inferences is a fundamental process, simply refers to taking one thing (a premise) and using it to come to a conclusion. It's fundamental to constructing an argument. You SHOULD make inferences using ONLY the text, or parts of the text, as a premise. You should have quoted material being used to support an inference you are making.</p>
<p>Gah, I thought it was more of a joke, so I thought about doing it for a while, but dismissed it as a silly idea. Sigh, I wonder if 3 hours it enough time to memorize it because I still need to study the questions he gave us. Ahh, crap.</p>
<p>I think about 6-7 people recited it in my class. I was worried I'd mess up but I got it.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help, g1a2b3e. I went to class and the test was pretty much the questions he gave us about 2 weeks ago so I made a study guide last night and studied it a bit and was able to answer everything pretty easily when I went to class today. He didn't have the revised version of my paper, but he said he gave me a B. I'm going to Cal!</p>
