<p>At Dartmouth, all classes are worth 1 credit. Usually students take 3 classes per term, but you are allowed to take 2 2-class terms and 2 4-class terms. I could not begin to imagine taking 6 or 7 classes per term.</p>
<p>Classes either meet for 1:05 on MWF or for 1:50 with a break (so really 1:40) T&Th. Teachers also have one “X-hour” available each week, when they are allowed to call an extra session. Some teachers use every X-hour, some use none. Labs are beyond that. They meet once a week, timing depending on the class (I’ve taken a class where labs were usually over within an hour and a half, but I also know orgo uses about 6 hours).</p>
