Talk:Credit hour

I'm not completely sure that this redirect is accurate, in reference to American Universities. Credit hours toward graduating are acquired only by achieving passing grades in classes, and a student's "class load" is measured in credit hours: number of classes taken in a marking period. Also, a college can set the number of credit hours for a class. It is not always equivalent to the amount of time spent in the classroom. At The Ohio State University, for example, freshman engineering classes are 4 credit hours for 8 hours of class per week. Also, science classes with labs also do not follow the simply time-based rules. ~Kruck 21:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
