Random UCLA information
This article presents a random collection of specific UCLA information, which you might not find anywhere else on the internet.
(UCLA = University of California, Los Angeles)
UCLA Undergraduate Math and Physics Courses
Let's say that Course A is a prerequisite of Course B.
You can take Course A and Course B at the same time.
However, it is recommended to take Course A before Course B; this is because if you get terrible grades for Course A and excellent grades for Course B, you cannot repeat Course A the following quarter, since you have already completed Course B which is a more advanced Math (or Physics) course in the UCLA Math (or Physics) series.
This is special because you don't need your department's approval to do this!
Note when I refer to Course A and Course B, I'm just referring to ANY two different courses (e.g. I'm not specifying Course A to mean 'only courses which end with the letter A').
If you want official confirmation of this information, go to the UCLA Mathematics Department at 6356 Math Sciences Building, UCLA (for Math courses) or see Elaine Dolalas at 1-707D Physics and Astronomy Building, UCLA (for Physics courses).
If you want to know whether similar policies exists for other departments (such as Biology department), ask your department for confirmation, because this policy might not apply to departments other than Math and Physics.
Costs of Classes
If you are a full-time student enrolled at UCLA, the costs of classes are per unit or per quarter as follows:
Summer Classes : per unit.
Non-summer Classes : per quarter.
Non-summer means the Fall, Winter and Spring quarters.
If you want official confirmation of this information, go to College Academic Counseling at A316 Murphy Hall, UCLA.
Taking Extra Units
If you want to enroll in more units than you are allowed, you can only request for those extra units after the quarter has begun. Therefore, you should enroll in popular classes because they would fill up quickly. Then when requesting for extra units you should have some unpopular class that hasn't filled up.
Otherwise, if you delay enrolling in popular classes, by the time the quarter starts those classes would have filled up and there would be no point requesting extra units (since those classes have already filled up).
Don't be fooled: although you might think that summer classes will just remain empty because when you enroll in summer classes early they all seem to be empty, the truth is that some summer classes eventually fill up to the maximum by April.

How to Write a Lab Report fast!
If you are using Microsoft Word, there is a way to use LaTeX-equations fast as a beginner at LaTeX:
Step 1: Type your equation in LaTeX form on CodeCogs. I find that using the CodeCogs online LaTeX Equation Editor is the fastest way to learn how to write equations in LaTeX language.
Step 2: Copy and paste the text into Microsoft Word equation editor. (Open Microsoft Word, then use the shortcut alt+= )
You can also use LaTeX templates for lab reports.

Step 3: Click the down arrow and choose 'change to professional'.
You can also write LaTeX at Math StackExchange. Note that you don't need to sign up to use this feature.

@Raindrop I write tons of stuff in LaTeX, but till now all my UG lab reports have been handwritten because the lab wants you to write them
But I suggest LaTeX
Tons of LaTeX templates for it though: latextemplates.com/cat/laboratory-reports
