For each hour a student attends class, a student is expected to spend an additional two hours to prepare for the course. For example, in a traditional 16-week course, a three-hour course will require three hours of class time and an additional six hours of preparation outside of class each week. A three-hour course offered in an eight-week format would require six hours of class per week and an additional 12 hours outside of class per week for the student to prepare the course. Students should keep this information in mind as they prepare their schedules.
