Graduate School Terms

[rebel100]

Hi again!

I know there is a guideline for undergraduate courses like "plan to spend 3 hours per week for each semester hour of credit. For a 3 credit course, plan on 9 hours per week" for homework. (taken and modified from EC website) Math and science courses with labs can be more hours.

Is there a similar guideline for graduate courses? What is it? How much time should I plan for math and science related grad coursework?

Thanks so much for your help!

Actually your 9 hours/week per 3 credits looks pretty good. WGU is really pushing 20 hours a week for 8-9 credits (competencies), so that sounds about right.

Remember it all comes down to you and what you bring to the table...I never spent more than an hour or two a week on the Writing intensive course at WNMU and I got what I felt was a pretty easy "A"....so it really varies greatly I would say.
