<p>For the college of engineering, what's up with enrolling in Physics 7A? There are only two courses provided and it's only phase 1 yet they are already full. Plus there's no waiting list.</p>
<p>As an incoming freshman, I'm trying to enroll in Physics 7A only until I get my AP Physics score this July. Which, if I do, I'll take E28.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>It’s pointless to worry about it right now since there’s no waiting list and nobody’s gonna drop the class in middle of the summer. However, there definitely will be dropouts once the semester starts and you should hog Telebears all day/all night during that period if you need to enroll in Physics 7A.</p>
<p>But do skip what you can with the AP scores you get and I think E28 is an excellent alternative. Professor Lieu is the best professor to have for E28!</p>

<p>Um… where did you look. I checked NinjaCourses.com, Berkeley’s ScheduleBuilder, and Berkeley’s Online Schedule, and there are still spaces left.</p>
<p>The one taught by Ramesh is full, but there are still spots left in the one taught by Stahler.</p>
<p>(Btw, I’m in the College of Engineering too; EECS major)</p>
<p>Just because there are available seats doesn’t mean they’re for you. If you log into Telebears and try to enroll, it will say the section is full even though you see available spaces. This most likely means somebody reserved the spot (no idea how this works, usually for students with ADA and other special cases). If Telebears won’t let you in, that’s that. It doesn’t matter what online schedule or ninjacourse says.</p>
<p>NinjaCourses and ScheduleBuilder don’t update in real-time. Berkeley’s online schedule shows the current status of a class ONLY if you click the link under the course.</p>
<p>Also, btw, keep in mind the TeleBears log-in limit, so check the Berkeley Schedule every day, not TeleBears.</p>
<p>Also, they will often add more spaces as they open up more sections. Just check every day.</p>

<p>What does ADA mean?</p>
<p>And also, if they do decide to open up more spaces, do you think they will open up spaces that are reserved only for students who need Physics 7A for their major (like CS 61A did)?</p>
<p>
Where did you hear that the spaces opened for CS61A were reserved only for students who need it for their major? The way it works is that EECS majors get priority, but the seats aren’t ‘reserved’ for them.</p>
<p>… And there are 110 seats still open in Physics 7A, as of today.</p>

<p>Well, I checked Berkeley’s online schedule, and it says </p>
<p>"Seats have been reserved for:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Students with a major of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (Open)</p></li>
<li><p>Open seating (Open)"</p></li>
</ol>
<p>[though I could have sworn that earlier in the month it said “Closed” for open seating]</p>
<p>Like I said. They get priority. But seats are not segregated for them.</p>
<p>ADA: Audio Design Associates…</p>
<p>No, it is actually Americans with Disabilities Act which provides separate guaranteed seating and sloped runways into the hallways to provide them in equal learning environment.</p>
