Hello there dr. pruritis_ani, when I meant intensive, it was in terms of the students passing. We just had out semester test for latin and so many people failed horribly. It was quite shocking (acc. to my latin professor) to see such results ever...and i don't think these subjects are heard but for subjects like latin and first aid, you do have to spend at least some time studying (even quite a lot of people failed in first aid for some mysterious reason)....so overall,may be one feeld like you have to study a whole lot more than what's already there....in fact this year we had three students transfer from Plzn (they're in 4th yr.) and they're finding latin so hard that they don't understand the reason why it's even a subject in med school.....
