@OhHeyThere69 The first line in a class listing is the lecture, and the other lines are sections. So, say:

MATH 3A CALC WITH APPLI 1 PANAGIOTOU E MWF 12:00pm - 12:50pm NH 1006 65 / 100
MATH 3A         30148   HAWKINS C P  T  5:00pm - 5:50pm HSSB 1237   23 / 25
MATH 3A 30155 HAWKINS C P T 6:00pm - 6:50pm HSSB 1236 8 / 25
MATH 3A Closed 30163 T 7:00pm - 7:50pm HSSB 1224 0 / 25
MATH 3A         30171   HAWKINS C P  T  8:00am - 8:50am HSSB 1227   12 / 25
MATH 3A         30189   HAWKINS C P  T  4:00pm - 4:50pm HSSB 1233   22 / 25

means that the lecture for Math 3A is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12 noon to 12:50pm. Then, you also attend a “section” that is one of the ones listed below that first line. In this case, all of them are on Tuesdays and they are at various times.

So, you attend 4 classes of 50 minutes each. That is pretty typical for how classes are taught in college. The lecture is generally taught by a professor and the sections are taught by grad students.

Or, were you asking about some class with a schedule not similar to that?
