1 cp per year in the major field only seems more likely to me.

ok well I was using intensive training for those cram sessions where you ace the final after and then forget everything three weeks later (which I wouldn't even really call it that, but I know that some would). I think that saying most people don't pick up a skill would be more accurately said by "those that get drunk, party, and don't give a crap about school" because some places actually have less partiers and more actual students.

anyway it's 3 per class for 16 weeks (at UARK anyway). same number of hours of in class time. so, yeah sure you could say that the 300 or so hours required to get that point in addition to the 48 will only get you 1 point of a single subject but that 300 hours only amounts to about 3 hours per day (300/16/7... yes people study on weekends too if they know and appreciate where their money is going), and if you're only studying about 3 hours per day let's face it, you could always study a second subject and get two points :)
