How do you list length of course?

[ss20ts]

Course length is a weird question! Lots of classes today are 7 or 8 weeks at many colleges. Lots of schools have multiple terms in a semester. I'm wondering what exactly they're looking for because that is odd. I mean I've taken a class at a college that was 5 weeks long. It was 1 credit. We met 1 day a week for 5 weeks. What does that prove? Not much. I'd probably leave the length of time blank. I mean who keeps track of how long classes are?

I've got UMPI classes where I spent 3 hours on the course content. That doesn't take into account for studying for the exam or taking the exam. Nor does it account for researching for writing the papers or writing the actual paper or revisions.
