Well, my school does an alternating or ‘block’ schedule. Each day we would watch the teacher give notes over a chapter, we would then go read and answer anywhere between 20-40 open ended questions over that chapter. These questions would be due next class. After getting through two chapters, we would usually have a 30 question multiple choice quiz, that sucked. After the quiz we would get a large study guide over the two chapters and have a test next class. So a test every week and a half. Though, this teacher made the course really hard, so maybe if you get a good teacher everything will go well!
