I just wrote a nice answer to the course load question - because there is a general answer for europe - and then the question got closed.
What should I do?
Ok, I've left a comment to ask for the country and I've saved my answer so that I can post in in case it's europe and the question gets reopened.
For now, I've condensed my answer a bit to fit it into a comment. I think it's general enough to be a real answer though, because it holds for (almost) all of Europe.
@Sumyrda The best thing to do would be to edit the question and try and make it less specific. I am not sure why people voted to close it. While there is a lot of specifics, I think a general question on what do "credits" mean would be useful.
After you edit the question, then people can vote to reopen the question. You would then be able to post your answer.
@Sumyrda Yes. The comment doesn't add any value now that it is an answer.
Most of the comments are obsolete now that the question has been edited. What you should do in that case is delete yours and flag the others as obsolete so a mod can delete them. I cleaned them up already.
@Sumyrda It might also be worth up voting the question if you think it is good. This can sometimes help other people realize that the question is in fact good.
@StrongBad Done. This really is a question which I got asked a lot during my time as student representative until we included it in our FAQ for first year students.
@abathur just for the record, your response academia.stackexchange.com/questions/30682/… was evasion of the key point. I have learned over the years there is little point in discussion on on-line forums where that sort of argument is used.
@user1938107 Well, you could just look at the list of "Principal Investigators" csail.mit.edu/biographies/PI/biolist.php, or your could search a grant database or follow links off of his wikipedia article... he's a pretty notable PI if you look.
