It's official.

You've gotta be insane to take 5 or 6 classes in one semester.

Anyways, back on topic: That's a great graduation present for you. You should see if you can get an all paid trip as well

 

A full college year has about 6 classes per semester (at least that's the standard here), 11 or 12 each year.
Sounds urgh-er? It does to me.

I am not in the least surprised.

 

Standered here is 4. Some people might take more, but that's usually at universitys and stuff. The community college allows only 4 at max. But if we want to get technical, I'm taking 6, just because of Chemistry being in 3 parts

 

I took four my first semester and have taken five every semester since. Next semester, I'm taking six, which is the max. It's only the max because of the hours. A regular student at my university has to take a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 19 hours. Most classes are either 3 or 4 hours long. Five 3-hour classes and one 4-hour class for me totals up to 19 hours and six classes. Is your 3-part Chemistry class all at once? Are you taking all three parts in one class or what?
I know most universities separate Economics into two 3-hour courses (Microeconomics and Macroeconomics) but mine combined all six hours into one 4 hour class. Is that what your community college does with Chem?

 

Nope, the chemistry counts as one class, but it's three seperate classes

 

What's your degree? Been meaning to ask that for a while now.

 

Ah, I know what you mean now. It's quite common. Though I've only heard of two separate classes, usually a lecture and a lab or discussion.

 

Congratulations! Hope you have fun in England.

 

What we are asking is that can be interpretted two ways

1) It is three seperate classes that you have combined into one

2) It is a single class with the workload of three


All this about how many classes is "normal" is why I usually just go by credit hours.

 

Congratulations! Lucky you, I still have two exams left. :c

Why you... !

Nevermind her, DP.. so whereabouts in England will you be visiting..? ;D

 

YAY! awesome, have lots of fun but not too much LOL
