[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never hurts to start with the minimum, but the real answer is school dependent. Look at the degree requirement, divide by 8 ( if semesters) then you know the expected course load. At schools where 4 is the norm, there will be a heavier work load per class. [/quote] +1. Students at schools where 4 is norm are told each 1-CU course can be 14-18 hours IN Addition to class time per week. Depends on the student and the course. Definitely true for courses like Orgo: hours on end prepping for lecture and working problem sets before tests is the stnadard for those who want to beat the mean and get a B+ or higher for that premed GPA.
