The default mode of instruction for the spring semester will be in-person, regardless of class size. The limited number of courses that have been designed and approved to be delivered in an alternate mode of instruction are listed accordingly in the Course Catalog.
Current UC Berkeley students, visiting research scholars, faculty, staff members, and post-doctoral scholars on the Berkeley campus can audit in-person (not online) Summer Sessions courses, subject to the approval of the instructor.
Are students required to complete evaluations? No, but they are strongly encouraged to provide feedback that will inform and improve the teaching on our campus. Instructors may not penalize students who do not not complete evaluations.
