Why is each class at ICU only 70 minutes long?

Classes at ICU are only 70 minutes long, but what sets ICU apart from most other universities is that each course has multiple classes per week. In most courses, students study in class three times a week, that is, for 210 minutes. Some courses may meet on three separate days, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while other courses that involve practical exercises, experiments and the like may hold three classes consecutively on the same day.

The more concentrated learning that this system provides entrenches what students learn more quickly and deepens their learning.

Moreover, classes do not start with a review of what was covered in the previous class. Between classes, students are expected to complete a variety of tasks, such as reading the literature, writing essays, and discussing the topics with their friends and in groups. This makes their learning a continuous process and allows it to become even deeper.
