*Each “LEC” refers to one 50 minute block. This means you will often have two LEC on the same day. Different
sections may have 1 or 2 LEC hours in the first `week’. The topic schedule will shift accordingly for individual
sections. But Test review LEC are not shifted, as they are scheduled around the test dates.
