Hello
I have some questions about the credit hours system in physics and math undergraduate courses in the american universities since I am planning to do my undergraduate degree there
For the introductory physics sequence, what is the duration of the recitation sections which are supposed to go with the courses, and are they counted in the credit hours of the course or not?
for example an introductory physics I , say 4 credits
does that 4 mean on average 3 hours of lecture and 1 hour for recitation per week? or recitation is not counted?
(I am ignoring the lab and I am assuming that it has a separate 1 Cr say)
how about introductory math courses, i see the universities listing only calculus I 4 Cr., calculus II 4Cr...etc without any information about the recitations classes or their durations
some information would be greately appreciated
thnx
Dina
