If one worked Shooph 12 hours a day (3 SH = 48-hours minimum) it would take 80+ straight days.  8-10 hours a day would be 96-120 days with no days off.  I have done 16-hour days, but never for 80+ days.   I did the Excelsior College (1 SH = 16 hours) INL102 course in two days. I work so no way could I do 80-120+ days straight.

The only problem I see is that your math doesn't factor in variables such as learning / material interpretation speeds (which have no standard of measurement that I'm aware of) and reading rates.

I did Bible as Literature mostly without reading it, since I am familiar with the Bible, and it still took 3 hours. It takes a minimum amount of time just to flip through the tests. Bible as Lit is one of the shorter ones too, some of them are over twice as long as that one

Not saying it takes 48 hours a course, because I don't think it does, but some of those courses you absolutely need a fair bit of time for. So it probably depends on which ones he's thinking of
