Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before CHIN 101A. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for CHIN 101A in Summer Session C 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHIN 100C, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
