I am in my second semester at Lonestar N.Harris - we were instructed to plan to be in class from 8a - 5p. Last semester and this semester we have Lecture on Mon Tues and exams on Fri... But I must say that this can change. Your child care needs to be flexible because there are other labs, presentations etc that might be scheduled outside of the norm. The first two or three weeks of each semester you will have a different schedule everyday... And it might change with just 24 hours notice... It is very very hectic... So try hard to set up reliable child care... It will help ease some of the stress.
