Finally, you can use 이번 just like 지난/다음 when talking about weeks or months to mean "this week/this month." You cannot say "이번 년," instead you must use the separate word "올해."

저는 이번 주에 계획이 없어요 - I have no plans this week
저의 어머니는 올해 한국에 올 것입니다 - My mom will come to Korea this year

Note here that it is common to see "에" omitted from the word "올해."

You cannot use 이번 when talking about minutes/seconds/hours. "I want to go to school this hour" doesn't make any sense. But remember, in addition to meaning 'hour' 시간 also means "time." This means that you can say 이번 시간 to mean "this time," which is usually used when talking about "this time in class." For example:

우리는 이번 시간에 많이 배웠어 - We learned a lot this time

In most other cases, it is more natural to use "이번에" instead of "이번 시간:"

나는 너를 이번에 안 만날 거야 - I won't meet you this time

번 can also be added after 지난/다음 to mean "last/next time"

저는 박물관에 다음 번에 갈 거예요 - I will go to the museum next time
저는 박물관에 지난 번에 갔어요 - I went to the museum last time
