All I can say is that's bugger-all. My son is in his final year of a
science degree. First year involves 3 hours of lectures/week plus a 3
hour prac class plus a one hour tutorial. 7 hours/week. Each year the
time spent on a strand gets longer. Final year when I did a science
degree was 12 hours/week per strand plus library time. You needed to do
4 first year subjects, 3 second year subjects and 2 3rd year subjects,
at minimum, to get a science degree. Some of us did triple majors
carrying 36 hours of 3rd year subjects to get an undergrad degree.

He said 20 hours - that means, to me, 20 hours elapsed time. Say one
hour/week for a semester. SQRT(bugger_all).

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a..............

Less than 2 weeks of a college (university) course and you're boasting
about it??????


Peter,
University courses are listed in credit hours here... 20 hours of Physics
would mean he has taken (5 )4 credit hour Physics classes, which along with
the math credits would give him a minor in Physics....a 4 credit hour class
meets 4 hours per week for an entire semester or term and usually has at
least 2 hours of lab time appended to it. Likewise, a 3 credit hour class
would meet three hours a week....Science, math and language courses are
generally 4 credit hours, whereas the Humanities are generally 3 credit hour
courses.
