Program and Classes General Information
Class topics are chosen from members' suggestions to the Curriculum Committee, guided by the talents and capabilities of available members. Classes are held in Classroom 129, Classroom 128, Classroom 120, Classroom 150, and Computer Lab 134.
Some of the classes require advance reading, but only if you wish to join in the discussions. Otherwise, you are free to observe. Other classes permit discussion and questions without any preparation. And, there are no tests, grades, or attendance requirements. Pick and choose classes that interest you; come and go as you please.
If your sight and /or hearing is a little weak, don't worry. Our sound and projection systems have been designed so that you can hear and see adequately.
Take as many classes or as few as you wish. Attend only when you have the time.
Convenient class hours for retirees are 10 - 12 noon and 1 - 3 pm.
Auditing UCSD Classes
The auditing of regular University classes is an option for Osher members who wish to listen-in on the regular UCSD classes. There is, of course, no credit given. The auditor should receive permission from the professor at the beginning of the quarter to audit any class, and we ask that you do not participate in classroom discussion unless you are specifically invited to do so by the professor.
To receive permission to audit, speak to the professor in the classroom after a class. Many classes are very crowded, especially at the beginning of the quarter, with students frequently sitting on the floor for lack of seating space. In such circumstance, we request that auditors do not remain in the classroom.
