My Plan for Studying

1 credit = 3 hours of school commitment per week.

For each 1 credit hour, students will have up to 2 hours of preparation, studying or homework outside of class.

For example: 8 credits requires 8 hours in class + 16 hours of homework = 24 hours of school commitment per week.
