How College Classes Work

5 Units = 5 Hours in Lecture (HIL) per week

Homework = HIL (5) * 2 Per Week = 10

For a Grand Total of 15 Hours Per Week of work

So If you want to pass the class plan to work 15 hours a week on this class (*1)

Full time is 12-15 Units * 3 = 36 to 45 hours a week – about the same as a full time job

Online and Hybrid classes need to cover this time with recorded lecture or research projects

(*1) In college as in real life those who want to excel (“A” students) spend more time on assignments
