The percentage of failing grades in multiple UC Berkeley computer science classes in spring 2026 is significantly higher than past semesters and marks a departure from the department’s grading guidelines.
I would have used it because the class requirements are ridiculous. I forget if these are the correct numbers but to get through my degree you had to average 17 credits per semester. 15 is max full time and you had to get permission to take more than that. Half the people in my course were taking 5 years. I have thermodynamics and calc 2 homework, ai could write my sociology or art history paper.
You don’t have to graduate in 4 years. There’s a reason they were taking 5 years. So they didn’t burn themselves out. You already failed the first lesson of adulting.
Yes, I’m an engineer. My focus on the subjects I’ve needed has paid off immensely.
I find it funny that everyone is just going ad hominem instead of continuing the actual discussion of the shortcomings of the current education system.

I and many people have to graduate in 4 years because that’s how long scholarships last.
Yes Virginia, University is hard.
What?
I see skipping cultural literacy to focus on “real” subjects has paid off nicely for you
