SUMMER SESSION, 1915

June 21 to July 31

Session of 1915

The sixteenth annual summer session of the University of California will begin Monday, June 21, 1915, and will continue until Saturday, July 31, the session covering six weeks.

Earlier Sessions

The University of California held its first regular Summer Session in 1900, though summer courses in several departments had been given during the years 1891-99. The total enrollment in 1914, not including the Summer School of Surveying, was 3179. Of this number, 982 were men and 2197 women.

Purpose of the Session

The courses in the summer session are designed to meet the needs of the following persons:

1. Teachers who wish to strengthen their grasp of their own subject by a general survey, to carry on advanced studies in it, or to gain a broader outlook by the pursuit of other branches of study. It is a significant fact than in previous sessions more than half of the students have been teachers and school officers. For this reason the University has planned the majority of the courses primarily to meet the needs of teachers.

2. School superintendents, supervisors, and other officers. Supervisors of music, manual training, domestic science, agricultural education, and drawing will find work especially suited to their needs.

3. Directors of gymnasiums and teachers of physical education and playground-work. The University campus offers unusual opportunities for playground demonstration, and special emphasis will continue to be placed upon this important phase of education.

4. Graduate students to whom the advantages of smaller classes, the freer use of the facilities of libraries, laboratories and museums, and the more direct intimate and personal contact with the professors in charge, are peculiarly possible during the summer session.

5. Undergraduate students who wish to use the vacation to take up studies for which they are unable to find room in their regular programmes, to shorten their courses or to make up deficiencies.

6. Properly recommended high school graduates who are about to enter upon regular university courses in the ensuing fall sessions and who desire to complete matriculation requirements or to broaden their preparation for university work. To meet their needs courses are offered in mathematics, German, French, Spanish, physics, chemistry, zoology, mechanical and free-hand drawing, and stenography and typewriting. 7. Adults qualified to pursue with profit any course given, whether or not they are engaged in teaching or study.

The tuition fee will be fifteen dollars ($15) regardless of the number of courses taken. Laboratory fees will be charged in courses in anatomy, botany, chemistry, civil engineering, household economics, manual arts, physics, public health, and zoology. The fees in each case are stated in the description of the course.

Persons desiring to attend courses or occasional lectures without examination or formal credit may secure for this purpose an auditor's ticket upon payment of the regular fee ($15). Such tickets are obtainable by mail. Address the Recorder of the Faculties of the University of California, Berkeley, California.

All fees must be paid in advance, at the opening of the Summer Session at the office of the Comptroller, in California Hall. No deduction will be made from fees in cases of late registration. After the first week no rebate will be allowed for early withdrawal.

Credit

Credit toward a university degree will be given only to attendants who are qualified to do systematic university work, and is in every case subject to the requirement that the student shall at some time qualify in the University as a regular matriculant, either by passing the entrance examinations or otherwise. In the absence of formal entrance requirements, the instructor in charge of a given course in the summer session is the judge of the qualifications of candidates for credit.

In general, credit will be given at the rate of one unit for fifteen exercises. A course of five recitations or lectures weekly during six weeks may receive a credit of two units. Credit may be given, in due proportion, for a smaller number of exercises, when these are of more than the usual length (which for lectures and recitations is about fiftythree minutes). A recitation or lecture presupposes about two hours of

study outside of the classroom; laboratory or other exercises which do not require outside preparation are estimated at a lower rate than recitations or lectures.

If in a given course a final examination is required by the instructor, there can be no individual exemption from the examination. A student who fails to pass the examination does not receive credit for the course. It should furthermore be noticed that special examinations and re-examinations in summer courses are not provided.

The normal amount of credit obtainable during the session, by a student who devotes his whole time to courses strictly of university grade, is from four to six units, according to the character of the work selected. Petitions for credit in excess of six units must be presented to the Recorder of the Faculties at the beginning of the session. A bachelor's degree represents 124 or more units of credit, distributed according to the special requirements of the college or department in which the student is enrolled. For the master's degree there are required about 18 units of properly selected work, in addition to a thesis. The work for Ph.D. and other doctors' degrees is not estimated in units of credit, and must be especially planned for every candidate. There are normally required four years of university residence for a bachelor's degree, one year for a master's degree, and at least two years for a doctor's degree; and while advanced credit is given for work done at other universities, the candidate's final year of residence for any degree must be spent in the University of California.

Two summer sessions are accepted as the equivalent of one half-year of residence for any degree; but the amount of credit (the number of units) that may be completed during two summer sessions would for the average student not exceed three-fourths of the amount that could be completed during a single fall or spring session.

In every case students desiring credit for major or graduate courses should make definite arrangements therefor with the instructor at the beginning of the session. The specific courses which will be recognized as major or graduate courses toward a higher degree will be announced before the opening of the summer session. Students electing work in the summer session as part of a programme for a higher degree should consult the Announcement of the Graduate School for 1915-16 for information regarding facilities and departmental requirements. Graduate students should consult, also, the Dean of the Graduate School, at his office in the Faculty Room, California Hall, second floor.

The University issues formal Recommendations for Teacher's Certificates only to those who hold a bachelor's degree. Certificates of record for Summer Session work, whether of matriculation or of university grade,

will be issued by the Recorder of the Faculties, upon application of any student in the session; and personal recommendations from instructors may be obtained by school officers and other inquirers through the office of the Appointment Secretary.

There will be no general period of final examinations. The matter of examinations for credit will be left in the hands of the instructors, who may use the regular recitation hours for that purpose, or may hold exami nations at other times, to be arranged with their classes. No examina tion is to be held except at a time which will make it possible for all the members of the class to attend without conflict with other University appointments; special examinations to suit the convenience of individuals are not permitted.

Students who apply for credit in any course will be expected not only to complete all the work and examinations of the course, but also to continue in regular attendance upon the class exercises until the close of the session.
