Great. Thanks a lot teacher.

Would "period of study or study period" also be possible instead of the word 'duration'?

CliveI think you mean courses, not studies.A course is a series of lessons on some subject.eg I have seen Math courses that range in duration from two weeks to a few months.Clive

Actually I meant studies, as in clinical studies (trials).

Is there another word that can be used instead of 'duration', such as 'study period' or something else?

OK. But try not to repeat the word 'studies'.

Got it. Thanks a lot.

Just curious, would it be possible to use study period in the same manner as 'duration' in the original sentence, of course it not may be as good as the sentence you just provided?

That's OK, but slightly awkward to my ear.

How about simply this?

Yes, I like that sentence.

So, although words may imply the same meaning they can function or should be used differently, or may not work well in a sentence, such as our sentence with 'in duration' vs 'in stu

CliveYes, I agree. And I think that what you say applies to other languages as well as to English.

Great. Thanks for your time and valuable help, teacher.
