Student course time commitments may vary from course to course. Typically an 8-week course, whether in-person or virtual, meets for three (3) hours per week (more for a 6-week course) and requires three (3) additional hours of preparation for each credit, per week, outside the classroom (or after the virtual/Zoom course session). For fully online courses, students would spend about six to eight (6-8) hours on coursework, per credit, per week.

Regardless of the delivery method, approximately 45 hours per credit of student effort is anticipated. This equates to 135 hours of total student effort for a 3-credit course.

If needed, additional information specific to the time commitment for this course may be included in the last section of the syllabus and/or in the course announcements in Canvas.
