Do you think going to class two times per week three hours a day would be better than three times...? COLLEGE?

Question

OK.. so this anatomy and phys. class meets two times a week. I have not taken a lot of on-campus classes... I prefer the online ones. Anyway, there are other sections that meet three times per week for a shorter period of time. Which is more bearable? I mean I know which one would save me gas, but are there any pros and cons to taking the class three times a week versus two times a week? Just wondering if anyone had opinions on this!!! Thanks :-D

Answer 1

Anatomy class is going to be very fact-intensive.  Were it me, I would opt for three times a week.  When my head gets too full of information at one sitting, I literally get a headache :)  That way you can process the information and study more efficiently.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I would opt for the three times a week for these particular classes.

I don't like online classes because the exchange of ideas is somewhat limited -- and to me, that is an integral part of education.

Answer 3

Heavy-duty course and you will need to study intensely and memorize a great deal.  Twice a week has the advantage of helping you concentrate and focus, with more time between classes to review, reread and absorb all the material.  Do plan on studying 1-2 hours every day, including Sat & Sun.  Schedule yourself before class starts and stick to your schedule -- makes it easier to focus.  Labs take time, and in a short class period, you'll always be running behind on your labs.

Answer 4

Three times a week.  That way, you're not having to process as much information at a time.
