I finished the 1st year, we have 6 weeks of summer school, but it's technically part of the 2nd year. Overall I would say this semester was easier than the first, just because I got in the groove a school a little more and knew what to expect. My GPA was a little better this semester than last also, although most people seem to indicate the GPA goes up a little each semester. What was important to me was I wasn't close to failing anything, which made finals a lot easier, as I didn't have to perform to pass any class. I think I averaged 40-50 hours of school and studying a week, with a rare occasion (2-3) of studying a few hours. We were able to learn about amalgams, resin composites, and glass ionomers. This semester was 21 credit hours. Next fall's load will be 24.5 credits, although that is down from 27.5 for the previous class.
Spring Extention includes the following classes.
Clinical Dentistry I
Nutrition
Immunology
Direct Restorations
Direct Restorations Lab
Head and Neck Clinical Dentistry
It looks like we'll be in class/lab ~ 30 hours a week.
