the University buildings have smaller departmental libraries or study halls where you will be able to study. if you like to study in real comfort, there are soft lounge chairs in the union. If you prefer to wear lounging clothes when you study, you may prefer your room or dorm library. University classes differ greatly in size and procedure. Many classes, especially "core" courses, consist of lecture periods scheduled two or three times a week. These lecture classes are usually divded into discussion groups where you have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the material covered. In a lecture course good notes will be one of your most valuable assets. The tests are often partly or solely based upon the lectures so good notes should mean good grades. If you are taking a science course, there is usually a weekly laboratory session where you can apply the practical information from the lecture and text book. You will find a complete explanation of our credit system in the booklet, "Information for Prospective Students," which you received from the registrar's office. Credit is granted on the basis of semester hours; a class which is worth one hour of credit ordinarily meets only one hour each week during the semester. Thus a class which meets three times a week will usually grant three hours of credit. Classes which include laboratory work usually grant only one hour of credit for two hours of lab work, so a three hour course in science may meet four to five times a week. The requirements for graduation from the College of Liberal Arts is 126 semester hours. This means the normal class load per semester is 16 hours. As the school year begins, remember that good grades are the result of following a good study schedule, taking good notes, studying the textbook, and attending classes regularly. After a good start, you'll find it easy to continue in the same way. 14
