\nThe University of Maine at Machias defines one credit1<\/sup>\u00a0as a minimum of 15 hours of course instruction,2<\/sup>\u00a0time\u00a0together with a minimum of 30 hours of student individual or group study. While the total amount of time spent by the student in learning activities should therefore be a minimum of 45 hours or more per credit, the proportion of instructional time to individual\/group study may vary in certain courses (e.g., asynchronous components,\u00a0laboratory components, performance and studio sessions, internship and practica, independent studies, etc.).
\n <\/p>\n
\n1<\/sup>\u00a0A credit is synonymous with credit hour and semester hour of credit.
\n2<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cInstruction time\u201d refers to interaction and communication among instructors and students, including any assessments (e.g., tests, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0presentations).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
