11/10   If each semester is only $2000, and each student averages 14
        units a semester, how much would lectures and discussions be,
        per hour based?
        \_ *Only* $2000 a semester?  Maybe to your daddy.
        \_ not sure about Berkeley, but a friend of mine at Harvard Med
        \_ Well, gee, let me get out M$Calc.  Do you math, idiot.  And the
           says that each lecture is about $200/hour. Can you believe that?
        \_ Well, gee, let me get out M$Calc.  Do your math, idiot.  And the
           average is 15 units for people who want to graduate in this
           lifetime.
                \_ What's the average hr per unit? # of weeks in a semester?
                   Should lab hours be counted?
                        \_ Where have you been?  It's supposed to be 1 unit of
                           credit = 15 hours of class over 15 weeks.  So a 4
                           unit class is 4 hours/week * 15 weeks = 60 hours.
                           Labs tend to fuck this up but I don't take any lab
                           classes so I don't care.  15 units/semester is the
                           standard.  Where are you people getting this 14 and
                           16 and other crap from?
                ED!  ED!  ED is the standard!  number of units per semester _/
           \_ Assume 16 units/sem, 4 units/class, 1 class/4hr lec+discussion,
              you end up paying about $9 per hour. Conclusion: You can
              really afford falling asleep in lectures afterall. Of course,
              med school is a totally different story.
              \_ w0w, Publik sk00l is cheap!!
              \_ Well, UCLA Med is $4000/semester with 16wk semesters (not
                 including 2wks for tests) and about 6.5hrs class/day.
                 Therefore it is ~$7.7 per hour of lecture/lab.  Include
                 tests, and rotations at infinite hours per week and that
                 number falls to probably $4-5 / hr. -drex
              \_ I calculated about $10/hr about 5 years ago.

        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action
