I realize that everyone has his or her own study methods and quirks, requiring different amounts of time to assimilate the material. BUT I would like to get a sense of how much time a broad cross section of students devote to studying on a daily basis (let's use the first and second semesters as examples).

Questions:
How much time is spent on avg. per day with each of the classes listed below?
What time do classes begin, end? How much time in between classes?
Do a lot people spend class time studying on their own versus going to class?
The one class that scares me the most is Biochem. How much detail is required to do well on USMLE part.....do you have to memorize every detail of every pathway. In one of my undergrad classes, I had to recall the entire Kreb's cycle from beginning to end with every single little detail. How deep do we have to know the actual chemistry versus basic concepts and clinical applications?

First:
Gross Anatomy (10)
Embryology (2)
Biochemistry (7)
History of Medicine (1)
Biostatistics (1)

Second:
Cell Biology & Histology (7)
Genetics (4)
Phsyiology I (5)
Immunology (4)
