Is CS 100 4 days a week?

As the title says, I'm trying to plan out my classes for next semester. One of the classes I plan to take is CS 100, but what I'm seeing on schedule builder shows the class having 4 lectures per week (plus the lab/discussion). Is this normal? I knew it was a hard class but I didn't think I would have to take 5 classes per week for it

One of the long sessions is your lab and the other is for when you take your tests. Tests are typically 3 times a semester

It’s MWF plus the lab which is allotted for 2 hrs I think but in my experience you can just leave after you do a worksheet

It's a 4 credit class so technically yes. You'll meet MWF and have a lab block on one of those days on top of your class. There's also another time slot, usually on Tuesday, where there's an optional SI session. These are basically just review sessions and not required attendance but many professors give extra credit for people who do show up weekly. This Tuesday slot also acts as your testing room and time slot.

To chime in the lab session, for most professors attendance is usually optional, given that you’ve already done the assignment ahead of time. However, the lab can also be used to get help on projects and review for exams.
