<p>So, instead of including a course description which contained something like this:</p>
<p>"Advanced Chemistry</p>
<p>Primary Text: covered all of Chemistry by Zumdahl and Zumdahl</p>
<p>Length: 01 May 09 - 31 Dec 09"</p>
<p>I should just state the course length like this:</p>
<p>"Advanced Chemistry</p>
<p>Primary text: covered all of Chemistry by Zumdahl and Zumdahl</p>
<p>Length: 8 months"</p>
<p>or include something like this:</p>
<p>"Advanced Chemistry</p>
<p>Primary text: covered all of Chemistry by Zumdahl and Zumdahl"</p>
<p>where I don’t state the course length at all?</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be overly finicky, but I’m not sure how much information adcoms would want to know and how much information would be irrelevant, you see. Also, wouldn’t they be able to get an idea of when I’d studied something by exam dates? (For example, my A-level certificates are dated at least a couple of years ago, and they’ll know I took the Chemistry and Biology Subject Tests either in November or December.)</p>
