One lecture lasts for ..?

<p>Somehow I found out about jtf.cornell.edu and entered my account or something. There I found preassigned intro courses such as Econ101 and ILRID, etc..the page says ECON 101: TuTh 10:10AM - 11:00AM, 3 units</p>

<p>Does it mean ECON 101 class opens on Tuesday and Thurdays, each class lasting for just '50minutes'? So, one lecture (this one) lasts for 50 minutes?</p>

<p>Someone please explain it to me~ Thank you in advanceT.T</p>

<p>Funny, I thought a three-credit class would be 3days a week.</p>

<p>That's only the lecture, there is also a discussion component that he/she didn't list.</p>

<p>Yup one lecture lasts for 50minutes for econ as it says. You will be surpirsed on much the professors teach in just 50mins.</p>

<p>Oh, so we have to attend discussions? just one discussion per week? yes, i saw alot of discussion schedules right below the lecture schedule..</p>

<p>Yes...you select one discussion session. Two 50 minute lectures + one 50 minute discussion = 3 credits</p>

<p>THanks~~~!</p>

<p>I still find it kind of weird that they already signed you up for classes, I haven't seen anything like it.</p>

<p>Some students were pre-enrolled in classes by their adviser. Transfers were also able to pre-enroll over the summer.</p>

<p>Well.. in the future registration period, can i change those pre-enrolled classed to other times?</p>

<p>Yes...if you aren't happy with your current schedule you can change it during the add/drop period.</p>

<p>My current schedule is:
ECON 1110-----Intro Microeconomics----Instructor Staff<br>
PAM 2030------Demography & Policy-----Instructor Hammer, Lichter<br>
PAM 2300------Intro to Policy Analysis---Instructor, Avery<br>
PSYCH 1101----Introduction to Psychology--Instructor Maas</p>

<p>Is this a full schedule besides my P.E. class and writing seminar, or will I choose other classes? Is there anything I should know about these classes, what to expect. Its so weird not to have like a math class or science class</p>

<p>Geeze the Pysch 101 has 895 students, how does grading and testing work there?</p>

<p>I've heard from multiple people that psych 101 with maas = best class ever</p>

<p>I already took Psych AP in high school, but I really want to take it again after what i've heard hahah</p>

<p>the engineering dept hasn't pre assigned classes yet for me :(</p>

<p>Made<em>In</em>China you have a typical freshman schedule. 5 classes (probably 15 or 16 credits) and a gym class. You'll be fine.</p>

<p>Cornell classes are either 50 minutes, 75 minutes, 2 hours (once a week), or 3 hours (once a week). The first two being the most common.</p>

<p>Prism123: They will, sometime after all of the preference forms are collected/went over -- they already started assigning advisors (you can see them at jtf.cornell.edu, on the right hand side, only know because my friend who's a freshman told me lol). They pre-enroll you but you can change it a lot -- but if you're pre-enrolled in chem 2090 and need to take it, try to schedule around your lab, as changing things for chem SUCKS because it's all on paper... :/.</p>

<p>is it a problem if i have 20 credits? (2 credits are support classes)</p>

<p>what classes are you taking? i've known engineers taking this much...</p>

<p>Hm..Bio101/103 +supplement, Chem207+lab+disc+supplement, pe, math171 +disc, fws
O wait..i think i just realized thats about 17 credits...but i also wanted to take HE100, which is 3 credits i believe?</p>

<p>Turtlefever: The schedule that you have right now is very common to the schedules for many biology majors. Btw, how is that 20 credits?</p>

<p>Well as of now you have 15 academic credits on your schedule which is good enough!</p>
