Cultural Tip

In German, days of the week are proper nouns and are always capitalised. The standard way to talk about a day is with the preposition "am" (an dem) followed by the day in the dative. "Stunde" can refer to a school lesson, a university lecture, or any one‑hour block, so the context makes the meaning clear.
