The work I’m doing right now. I’m working with one of my T.A.’s, who is such an amazing person by the way, to make thin sections for her research. I had no idea what she was doing, I was just cutting, epoxying, and polishing like it was no ones business.
So today she bought us pizza and we were talking about what exactly she was doing. She has 4.4 billion year old chert and is looking for the oldest carbon EVER in these rocks. She has to have it in thin section which is a realllllly thin piece of rock that light can pass through so she can look at it under a microscope. How cool is that?
Look what you can do at Temple : )
ok, this iz just a random question that just thought of just now!
As a full time college student how many credits are you required to take per semeter? how many do you take?
Hi Susie,
There is no requirement for the number of credits you have to take for a semester. There is however a limit, either 18 or 19. After that number you pay an extra amount per credit. I’ve always taken between 15-17 credits which is about 4 or 5 classes. Most classes are 3 credits but science classes are 4 credits. The minimum number of credits to be considered a full time student is 12. Hope this helps!
