Soc 409: Social welfare practicum

 

How are credits assigned?

Generally, for every hour in class, you should expect to spend two hours outside of class doing readings, preparing for exams, writing, etc. For each hour of practicum credit you sign up for, you should expect to spend 3 hours per week. So over a 10-week period, here's the breakdown:

no. of credits no. of hours you need to work
1 credit 30 hours (per term)
2 credits  60 hours
3 credits 90 hours
4 credits 120 hours 
5 credits 150 hours

This time includes keeping your journal, organizing and writing up your reflection paper at the end. Within reason. Most of your time should be spent doing the actual practicum.
