BEST PRACTICES:
For every one credit hour in which you enroll, you will spend approximately two to three hours outside of class studying. Therefore, to help determine the course load most appropriate for you, use the formula: 3 credit hours (1 course) = 3 hours in class per week = 6-9 hours study time per week. (This is an 8 week course, the hours should be multiplied by 2, thus 12-18 hours a week.) 12-18 hours is should be plenty of time to get the coursework in this class done.
DISCUSSION BOARDS Best Practices:
