How many credit hours equal 500 hours of study?

Answer 1

For colleges and universities that operate on a semester system, one credit is 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. Thus, five credits would be 80 hours of class contact time for the semester.

Answer 2

Generally, a credit hour means one hour of classroom instruction per week during a semester, trimester, or quarter. A credit hour does not take into account hours studying, doing homework, projects, etc.

So let's say your 500 hours of study involved 500 hours of classroom instruction: that would be 500 credit hours.

However, if your 500 hours of study involved only 30 hours of classroom instruction: that would be 30 credit hours.

Answer 3

It doesn't work that way. You can elect to take a minimum of 12 credit hours (this means you will be in class for approximately 12 hours during the week) to be a full time student, or you can elect to take more than that, usually up to 18 or 22 depending on grade level and school. In addition to the above, the general rule of thumb for most colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year in terms of student classification are as follows. * Freshman - fewer than 30 credits * Sophomore - 30 to 59 credits * Junior - 60 to 89 credits * Senior - 90 credits and above

Answer 4

I,m not sure exactly what you mean by equals 15 credit hours. Typically, for colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year (most), one credit equals 16 hours of class contact time. Thus, a three credit course would be 48 hours of class contact time throughout the length of the semester. 15 credits then, would equal 240 hours of class contact time through the length of the semester, which is an average load. Now if you are asking how much study time you need to complete the semester successfully then you need to read the following I posted to some other students.

Many people feel the hours of study are the most important. However, students can study for hours on end and retain very little. The more appropriate question is, "how can students study more effectively?" Some issues students must consider are as follows. * Students need to develop good time management skills. They must realize there is a time to be in class, a time for study, time for family, time to socialize, and time to just be alone. The critical issue is recognition that there must be an appropriate balance. * Students should acquire a vision; A clearly articulate picture of the future they intend to create for them selves. This will promote a passion for what they wish to do. Passion is critical and leads to an intense interest, dedication, and commitment to achieving career goals and objectives. * The student must choose the best study schedule, a time they feel is comfortable, and in a place where there is little distraction. * The student must take notes on the subject matter and rehearse them frequently. * Students should not study hours on end. One should study 30 to 45 minutes then take a short break. Eat a snack, have a cup of coffee, play with the dog, etc., then return to study. This refreshes the mind, and often issues that may have been confusing before, become suddenly clear. * The student must develop good critical thinking skills, taking everything into consideration particular to the subject matter. * Students must not be afraid to ask for help when they have a problem understanding the subject matter. They need to do it immediately and not after days have gone by. They should not feel apprehensive to ask a faculty member, a friend, or go to the academic learning center at the school. Thus, it is not so much a question of hard study, but how to study in smart fashion. The bottom line is that the student must take responsibility and ownership over their study habits.

Answer 5

It depends on the degree, degree level, the school, and state mandates. However, the associate degree (two year program) can range between 60 and 64 credits. The Bachelor degree (four year program) can range between 120 and 128 credits. This is based on colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system.

1 credit = 1 hour per week of class time
