Back to School

Sometimes the school gives you a stupid schedule: 3 days early morning classes. FOUR hours of nothing to do and at 4 pm for the last class. And 1 day with just one class.

Also sometimes a teacher couldn't fit into our class schedule so we have to fit in theirs. So there goes that 3rd day off. :/

It depends on how many classes you're taking. Generally, classes take place on either Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays or on Tuesdays and Thursdays. "Full time" is considered to be twelve credit hours here, and most classes award three credit hours each. A typical full-time college student will take four or five classes, probably scheduling three classes for MWF and two classes for TTH (TTH classes are longer because you will only meet twice per week rather than three times per week).

Each credit hour translates into one hour per week on a traditional fifteen week term, so you will attend a class that awards three credit hours for three hours each week. To make up for the shortened schedule, however, each class is going to last longer D: But in the end, it's essentially going to be pretty much the same as taking five classes for fifteen weeks - the upside to this schedule is that I'll only have to worry about three classes at a time rather than five.


I don't know how the early education system (k-12 here) works in Indonesia, but in the USA, people generally attend the same eight classes five times per week, Mondays through Fridays. College is very different (and way better).

I don't really understand about the classes things in college. Can you say how much is it in hour/day or hour/week

Wow, that sounds...arduous. Good luck.
