A Course Thread is a series of three courses offered through multiple departments and disciplines. The classes in each series are related to one another by an intellectual theme. Any UC Berkeley undergraduate can complete a Course Thread and be eligible to receive a certificate.
Web-Based and Online (Mode of Instruction): A web-based course has been designed from the ground up to be delivered online and many of these courses were developed pre-COVID. Such courses undergo an approval process through the Academic Senate to be delivered online.
Although UC Berkeley is considered a highly renowned university with outstanding opportunities for students, it is not an Ivy League school. The Ivy League is a collection of private colleges in the Northeast. Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, UPenn, and Yale are the eight prestigious Ivies.

However, homework assignments should be completed independently and materials turned in as homework should be the result of one’s own independent work. Some assignments, namely the preparation for the debate arguments, are meant to be done together in a group.
Cheating: Anyone caught cheating on a quiz or exam will receive a failing grade and will also be reported to the University Office of Student Conduct. In order to guarantee that you are not suspected of cheating, please keep your eyes on your own materials and do not converse with others during the quizzes and exams.
Academic Integrity and Ethics: Cheating on exams and plagiarism are examples of violations in the realm of ethics and integrity. Honesty, integrity, and ethical behavior are of great importance in all facets of life.
The consequences of cheating and academic dishonesty—including a formal discipline file, possible loss of future internship, scholarship, or employment opportunities, and denial of admission to graduate school— are simply not worth it.

Synchronous: A synchronous class component is one in which students are expected to participate in the class component during the days and time that are specified on the schedule of classes. Participation may be in-person or remote, depending on the mode of instruction.
Each class is assigned a final exam group. Not every class will have a final exam. Some instructors may replace final examinations with other modes of final assessment, subject to the department chair’s approval. Any such change in the mode of final assessment should be announced in the syllabus.
Mode of instruction is noted on the class details page of each section. Mode of instruction may vary across course components. The lecture and the discussion section or lab may have different modes of instruction.
No final exams will be rescheduled due to time conflicts. Some classes with the “asynchronous” notation may be asynchronous only; others may have a synchronous option — consult the class notes or class syllabus for details. An asynchronous class may allow for time conflicts or it may not.
If a student wishes to take two or more courses with the same final exam time, they must consult the syllabus to confirm that only one of the courses will require a final exam administered during the final exam time. If there is a conflict, students must make a choice between the two courses.
In general, undergraduates need to take an average of 15 units per semester to graduate on time. AP credit, summer courses, and additional courses taken in past or future semesters may allow students who take fewer than 15 units in a specific semester to graduate on time.
The Library aims to provide access to digital copies of required articles, books, and media for courses to save students time and money . Textbooks are often not available to libraries to license for multiple users, and instructors are encouraged to consider other resources that might work as well.
