I support Prof. Tabata. Credit hour vary according to the university or institution in question. In my credit hours are calculated based Theoretical periods and Practical period which together gives the total Credit hours(T+ P = C). One hour of Theory equals 2 hours of Practical (T = 2P). E.g a course which 2 hours of theory is equivalent to 4 hours of practical (TPC)=>(2,4,4).
One semester credit hour will be awarded for a minimum of 750 minutes of formalized instruction that typically requires students to work at out-of-class assignments an average of twice the amount of time as the amount of formalized instruction (1,500 minutes). It is acknowledged that formalized instruction may take place in a variety of modes.
While awarding semester credit hours typically occurs for instruction delivered in accordance with an institution's standard semester calendar, it may also occur for instruction that may not follow the typical pattern of an institution's standard semester calendar as long as the criteria for awarding such credit is met.
