Credit hours and contact hours:
A credit hour is an academic unit of measurement to determine the course weight among other courses, and is equivalent to one 50-minute lecture per week, 100-minute exercise class per week, or 150-minute lab or workshop per week for 15 weeks. In general, the number of credit hours for a course reflects the expected outcome of the course, as well as the time required to study the course and the nature of this study, while contact hours are the normal time passed in a lecture, lab, or semester
