This will vary by student, number of classes enrolled in, number of clubs active in, recruiting schedule, and Career Services workshop options. Classes are usually held one per week for three hours, with an average of 5-8 hours of out-of-class work per class. You can take 3-5 classes per quarter. Cl...

I was happy to find that it has been such a fun class too! There will be many more events and similar reports. Let me clarify the "lack of graded classes" comment. The first 2 and a half weeks are only orientation and our LEAD classes. LEAD is graded pass/fail and the only way to fail is t...
