BERKELEY -- It was quiet at a UC Berkeley student community room Saturday evening. Everyone was focused on their work."Just nice studying with a group of people, gives you more productivity," said Cal freshman Michael Karezin, a double major in applied math and theater.

As the UC strike enters its fourth week and nearing finals, many students worry it'll harm their grades. "All the discussions I've had are cancelled," said Song, a freshman and a double major in psychology and legal studies."Everything that's been taught by a graduate student has been cancelled." Ye has a computer science class that's got over 1,000 students. He said much of the learning really happens in the smaller group sessions led by the GSI's. The cancellation now forces him to rely on friends and classmates for help.

"In my math class, they've had to shift the entire grading structure to weigh the final more because they have not been able to grade the quizzes for the second half of the semeter," said Karezin.
