    Make sure to check out my Udemy course, where I go more in-depth on the inner workings of college, from how college degrees are structured to how you can make the most of them based off your own personal learning style. College 101: How to Navigate College teaches students about credits, degree plans, how to calculate their GPA, learning styles, how to maximize their degree plans, and more. This would be good to send out to the first year students. Here is the link:

    Hey, I'm looking for studying business analytics in UTD, I'm unable to understand the credit system and also how to calculate tuition expenses based on credit hours.

    • @collegeconversations

      You need to make an appointment with a transfer credit counselor so they can review exactly which courses you need to take, which courses you have already taken that you can get credit for, and the remaining cost of the rest of the courses. Be prepared for that meeting with the degree plan of business analytics and your unofficial transcript

      @collegeconversations  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You should ask your academic advisor at your school because I can't answer that specific of a question. My academic experience is in the US, not the UK, so the definition of credit hour may be slightly different.

    Hi how does much 0.5 credit effects on my degree ( my teacher last season gave my 0.5 credit for GLE which i did need it bcz i already had 31 credits and i didn't complete the assignments and my point is 56 doest it effects on my degree? Can i retake it or erase it? Thanks.

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You should ask your academic advisor this question. A half credit can still impact your degree technically. You might want to find a way to earn a half credit somehow so that it will total one complete credit. The registrar may or may not round up your total credits when it comes time to calculate your final degree audit.

    Can you explain 30 credit hours for a 2 years master degree?
    How is the 30 credit hours splited for a 2 years master degree?

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      A 2-year masters degree listed as 30 credits assumes you will be taking five 3-credit courses per year (15 credits) for 2 years, for a total of 30 credits.

    At 0:56 did you misspeak? "So the three hours of outside classroom work". That doesn't help when someone is trying to understand something.

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hours of outside classroom work could also include working with a tutor to understand the material, meeting with a study group to compare answers or work on an assignment, meeting with the instructor or teaching assistant, or regular homework, reading the textbook, or studying for an exam. Students need to make individual decisions about how to best spend their time learning the material. Some students do learn better in a study group while others will learn better seeking individual help from a tutor.

    So if a school says how much tuition is per credit hour how does that translate over taking 2,3 or 4 courses during a quarter or semester?

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If a school charges $1,200 per credit hour, for example, a 3-credit course would cost you $3,600. Two 3-credit courses would cost you $7,200; Three 3-credit courses would cost you $10,800; and Four 3-credit courses would cost you $14,400. Remember there are probably also fees charged each semester for a student activity fee (or similar).

      Yes. Time spent in class only (nothing outside of class) is referred to as “clock hours”

    I don't understand, all students have to study for the same amount of time, 9 hours out of the classroom?? I think it is for the average student. Although research shows that on average students don't learn nearly as much

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nine hours of time spent on work for the class outside of time spent in actual class is the guideline. The 9 hours could be homework, studying for a quiz or test, working on a project, working in a lab, reading chapters in a textbook, or any other activity related to learning the material taught in that class. The 9 hours is a guideline for how long it should take the average student to complete the assignments for that week (3 hours per one hour of class time) so 9 hours for a 3 credit course.

      It would be 12 hours of work for one class a week, so 12 x 5 classes = 60 hours a week x 15 weeks (length of semester) x 8 semesters = 7200 hours of work for a bachelor's degree

    So, a 3 credit course means you need to attend this course in class for 3 hours a week for the end of the semester, and you need to study these hours each week for 9 hours, 3 hours each. Do I get it?

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, you need to attend a 3-credit course for 3 hours each week (usually a 50 minute class 3 times a week or a 75 minute class 2 times a week) and then complete 9 hours of related course work, i.e. homework, studying for a quiz, practice sets, group work, studying for a test, etc.

    If my bachelor degree is 120 hrs then does it means i have to take it in one year and for each yr i need 4×120=480 hr to get my BS Degree???

    • @collegeconversations
      @collegeconversations  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, a bachelor's degree is typically 120 credit hours in TOTAL, which breaks down to enrolling in 15 credits worth of courses per semester, two semesters per academic year, and staying in college for 4 years. 30 credits per year x 4 years = 120 credits in total
