Do college credit hours include the weekend?
Credit hours are basically just the number of hours per week you spend in a classroom. You can plan to spend, on average, 2–3 hours outside of the classroom studying or doing homework of some type in order to do well in the class. Typically, classes meet during the week, rather than the weekend (although a Saturday class is not unheard off, especially at colleges that cater to non-traditional students). But, as to when you do your homework, that’s up to you. If you need to write a paper for your English class you can do it in the morning, in the evening, or on the weekend. It doesn’t matter as long as it is handed in to the professor (or TA) by the due date.
Biology majors, how many hours did you use to study a week, and what is your GPA?
I studied only when tests were coming, so about 15-20 hours per month max. When I had biochemistry lab or molecular biology lab this was closer to 40 hours. I had an overall GPA of 3.6 when I graduated and my science GPA was about 3.8. I also went to a very prestigious university, GO UCLA!!! You only need to study in excess of 5 hours per week if you don't fundamentally understand the material and just memorized most of it for tests, or you didn't attend the lectures. I made it to graduate school (for a PhD) though at an even better institution for biology/biomedical sciences, so don't kill yourself over not studying enough.
How many hours of biology a week does this course include?
a lecture and a 2 hour lab is included. The key word here is Included. If you look at your schedule or the meeting times for the bio class, I would assume you woud see two days a week for one hour and one day a week for a 2 hour lab
Class hours per semester for a science course including lab.?
I am from another country. I am little confused with the semester system here. I am a science student. If anybody is doing or finished science course (chemistry or physics or biology) with lab please help. A semester is for 18 weeks. Each week I have to take lecture class and lab. Instructor said for the whole semester it comes to 54 hours. How many hours of lecture and how many hours of lab it is per week to get a total of 54 hrs/semester. Please explain. If anybody remember their schedule please give in brief. Thank you in advance.
How many hours should I study for the biology SAT subject test?
You need to study as much as it takes for you to know all the material covered on the test very well. If you’ve taken advanced biology courses like AP biology, it should cut your study time majorly, as you have already studied all the topics covered. Getting you a general “hours required” figure for a 700+ score is difficult, as it depends on your previous knowledge & progress. I think if you’re learning biology from point zero, you’d need at least 50 hours to know the material well, excluding practice time.Practice tests will get you familiar with the test structure, the type of questions they ask and how they phrase them. Therefore, you should do at least a couple of practice tests before your exam. But, don’t forget that studying & knowing the material itself is much more important. This isn’t mathematics, where practice is crucial & knowing the formulas and rules don’t even merely cut it for a good score.Therefore, focus most of your time on learning & memorizing the material, because that’s what biology depends on: your knowledge. If you don’t know it, you’re probably not going to get it right. Guessing should not be your #1 strategy for this test. Good luck on your studies!
What does the school week look like in Sweden?
I’m trying to remember what my weekly schedule looked like when I was 12–15 years old. Since I am in High school (gymnasium) nowThis is all the subjects that you have to read before starting High School:SwedishEnglishMathSportsBiologyChemistryPhysiqueTechniqueHandicraftMusicCivicsHistoryReligionGeographyLanguage selection (France, Spanish or German)ArtDomestic science (wasn’t sure how to translate it)Just to make it clear: we don’t have all the 17 subjects every week. That would be exhausting.For example, you usually have Sports, Art, and Music classes once a week. While the more core subjects like Swedish, English, and Math is 3–4 times a week.Subjects like biology, Physique, Technique, and Chemistry are literally squeezed into one subject. For example, you might have Technique lessons for a few months, you do a project, assignment or write a test in Technique to get a grade of the course and then you start with a new course.My days usually started at 8:20 or 9:00.Lessons could be 1–2 hours long.Between every lesson there was an 10–30 minutes break.There was 1–3 lessons between morning and lunch.It was lunch break at 11:50 for about an hour.Then we had 2–3 afternoon lessons.The days usually ended at 15.00, 15.30 but also 16.00 - Fridays were usually the shortest days ending at 13.00 or 14.00.
How many hours does a doctor work a typical week?
I remember an article from, maybe twenty or thirty years ago, about a survey done by the Canadian Medical Association asking doctors if they were doing part-time practice, or had considered doing so. No big deal until you looked at their definition of “part-time.” It was working fewer than 70 hours a week!I did some consulting work with one of the provincial medical associations in the 90’s. They were saying that they were noticing more and more young physicians who were not willing to work the sort of hours than had been the norm. Having said that, I’m thinking that the trend is continuing, but would be willing to work that they still work over 40 hours a week.Of course, a doctor in private practice (which almost all are) is free to work as many hours he or she wants— and as long as they want. I know several that are still practicing in their 70’s.
How many hours does a PhD student usually work every week?
Depends on the field. For example, I work on metabolomics which is a multi-disciplinary field, so a whole experiment can be broken down into several parts-the sample prep takes the longest (of course it also depends on how many samples have you got!) But I would say typically I can extract 80–100 samples per day at max and it can take 10–12 hours. For pre-clinical and nutritional study sample size could be hundreds, so basically once I start doing extraction, for the following whole week or 2 weeks I can spend 60hrs in the lab per week (50hrs at minimum). But once the samples are in the instrument, it is more flexible (of course will need to go to check the spectra/instrumental performance regularly, just to ensure everything is alright). A batch can take about 5 days to finish, basically I go check in the morning, lunch time, and before I go home-and in between, I do literature reading and/or write up my experiment (the sample prep part). This stage of the experiment cycle can be more relaxed-I spend 6–8 hrs at work (that is also because I’m exhausted after a sample prep week and need to recharge myself). Once I get the data, I usually work for 8–10hrs per day (mostly on the data processing and analysis part), but this can vary..depends on the general progress and issues that I encounter. Sometimes if I spot some weird things or unexpected result it can take forever to solve (well, be real, when u make an attempt to troubleshoot problems, find the cause, seek for an answer, think and think and think so hard, you basically forget about time and when u start to feel exhausted and your mind is just back to reality, it’s already 8 or 9pm)From my point of view, as a PhD student, an average of 45hrs per week is sound, time spent on writing and reading is also counted as “working hour”. It doesn’t really matter how many hours do you work-it’s just a number. The most important thing is to keep using your brain, keep active thinking and contributing your ideas towards your research.
What does 8 semester hours mean?
A semester hour (often called a credit hour) is how many hours you are enrolled in in one week. So a person enrolled in 12 semester hours is enrolled in and attending classes totaling being in class 12 hours a week. This is usually 4 classes, because most classes are 3 credit hours. Many science classes like Biology and Chemistry are more hours. Most of the Biology classes I took were 4 hours and most of the chemistry classes were 5. So, if you are looking at something that says you need a min of 8 semester hours in Biology that would mean all your classes would have to equal 8 or more. This would most likely be 2 classes (since as I said, many science classes are 4 hours) but not always. You could have a say, a Physical Science class that is only 3 hours, and another class, say Life Science class that is only 3 hours... totaling 6 hours... so you'd need another 2 hours (at least) to make your 8. Or anther (more likely) option is you taking 1 General Biology class at 4 semester hours and then another Biology Class, say Microbiology class at 4 hours as well... giving you 8 hours total. hope this helps. If you look closely at your transcript, or your schools class schedule (or on your transcript), you will notice a special "coding" on all classes. Often these codes will tell you how many hours the course is worth and what type of class it is. Each schools coding is different, (some use 3 numbers, some use 4) but once you get the hang of it, its pretty easy to figure out how to read and understand your degree plan. (what you need to take to graduate with a degree) For example: BIO 1114 would be a Freshman Level Biology Class that is 4 hours. BIO 2124 would be a Sophomore Level Biology Class that is 4 hours ACT 3113 would be a Junior Level Accounting Class that is only 3 hours Credit MATH 4313 would be a Senior Level Math course that is 3 credit hours. PSY 3223 would be a Junior Level Psychology course that is 3 credit hours CHEM 5225 would be a "Graduate - (5th year)" level Chemistry course that is worth 5 hours.
How many hours a week, and how many weeks did you study in order to get on the National Olympiad Team, then achieve an IPHO Medal?
Well, as in the previous answer, there is no such absolute thing as how many hours a day you need to study. It really depends on you- if you have a good grasp of the base concepts, and intuition, honest dedication, patience and persistence at solving problems (not necessarily in physics, may be in computer or math or others too), I guess you can make it to the national team. What you will need more is just some practice particularly for the Olympiads.And for the Medal in IPhO, as per my experience, it really depends on your country: the country’s education system, preparations camps, etc. If you are from China or South Korea, being selected in the national team ensures a Gold for you. But if you are talking about getting at least a medal on your own, some rigorous, timed practices simulating the IPhO ones should help you besides the understanding of Physics concepts and ingenuity in problem solving.Hope it helps you.As for me, I participated in the IPhO-2017 representing Nepal and managed a Bronze.
