NOTE: Lec Hr: Lecture Hours per week; Lab Hr: Laboratory Hours per week; Tut Hr: Tutorial Hours per week; SS Hr: Self Study Hours per week
- Every Lecture Hour is associated with a certain number of Self Study Hours
- Tutorials will have no credits
- Typically, every regular course will have 3 lecture hours per week
- Number of Credits = [(Lec Hr + Lab Hr + SS Hr)/3]
- All laboratory work (including notebook writing) should be completed inside the laboratory
For example, CHM 222 has 3 Lec Hr and 6 SS Hr. So, Number of Credits = [(3+0+6)/3] = 3
