Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The course load is calculated as the sum of credit hours plus twice the hours of employment. For a student with 18 credit hours and no hours of employment, the course load is 18 + (2*0) = 18. However, the typical expectation is that for each credit hour, a student will spend about 3 hours per week on coursework outside of class. Therefore, 18 credit hours would equate to 54 hours per week spent on coursework, including class time and study time.
