Study Time / Lecture, Lab, or Internship/Externship/Clinical/Practicum hours as indicated on the syllabus represent scheduled hours spent engaged in learning activities. Students should expect to spend a minimum of two additional hours engaged in learning activities outside of class for each one hour identified as lecture; students should expect to spend one hour engaged in learning activities outside of class for each two hours of scheduled laboratory time. Learning activities outside of class support the achievement of one or more course learning objectives and may be spent reading textbook material, completing homework assignments, preparing for lab assignments, engaged in drill and practice exercises, working on case studies, or conducting library research. Additional study time outside of scheduled Internship/Externship/Clinical hours is typically not expected.
The total amount of time that students spend engaged in learning activities is consistent, regardless of instructional delivery method. For example, students enrolled a three credit lecture course should expect to spend 45 hours in scheduled class time and an additional 90 hours engaged in learning activities outside of the classroom. Online or blended students should expect to spend the equivalent total of 135 hours engaged in learning activities if they are enrolled in the same course.
Determination of the amount of time that a student should expect to spend engaged in learning activities is based upon faculty judgment regarding the average student. The amount of time spent engaged in learning activities is expected to vary among students, based upon previous knowledge of the content, learning style, learning ability, difficulty of the course, and student motivation.
