I have hour breaks in between most days, but I wanted to ask your opinion on having practical lessons for 3 hours straight. Do you reckon it's a little too much to do, or do you reckon I should try and see if I can break them up.
Practicals are mostly three to four hours straight every once a week or a fortnight - you get use to it and you can walk out of class and back in for a break (well at least for biology and molecular biology anyway).

Yes, I'm serious - but you're asked to limit them to 15ish minutes. Practicals? Tiring but fun and some practicals are just so time consuming that if you don't organise it well you're going to have to stay back. Depends on the lab partner or group you have as well - if they stuff up that experiment then it stuffs up the whole class because in biology for example you do weekly reports based on a collaboration of results. My tip is to balance fun and hard work in the labs.

Nope, they won't email it to you. I'd suggest printing the page if you want a hard copy, or taking a screenshot and saving the picture if you want to have a soft copy. Saves you from constantly logging in and stuff.
