While every student’s experience is different, certain guidelines have been established to assure that the credit assigned for each course is representative of higher education best practices. As a general rule, for each credit hour assigned, students will spend 15 hours directly engaged with course materials and 30 hours preparing for class. Students may spend more or less time completing a course because of their learning styles and academic experiences.
Despite the differences in student study and learning preferences, the following recommendations may help you develop a study plan to successfully complete DSU courses.
