Total time is comprised of:</p><p>1) Time spent “in class” 2) Time spent in a laboratory, studio, or other scheduled activity 3) Time spent reading, studying, problem solving, writing, or other activity.</p><p>In a traditional, lecture-led course, one credit hour is usually assigned for 3 hours of student work per week, including time spent in class and out of class. This credit hour assignment assumes a fixed course length, which typically ranges between 12-15 weeks depending on the academic program.</p><p>Unlike traditional courses, online courses can vary widely in the course length, depending on the needs of the student and the administration requirements of the educational institution. An online course of 6 weeks can cover the identical content of an online course that is spread out over 10 weeks. Thus, credit hours for online courses should be assessed based on the total time required to complete the course ( “time on task”). </p><p>For online courses, one credit hour will equal 20-25 hours time on task. Therefore,  A 3-credit course will consist of 60-75 hours time on task.  A 4-credit course will consist of 75-100 hours time on task.</p><p>Based on the above, the <Insert Course Name> course, with an estimated <Insert total time on task hours> hours time on task, will be designated as a <Insert credit hour designation> hour course.</p><p><Insert Course Name> Page 6 of 8 11/25/2017 005843a630dffcdfc2de47cb68981fd1.doc <Insert Course Name></p><p>Grading Criteria</p><p>Weighted Grading Breakdown</p><p>Activity Types Weights (%) <List activity types from Table above.> <List grading weights for each activity type></p><p>Total: 100%</p><p>Grading Conversion Table</p><p>Letter Grade Percentage Grade Point A 90 - 100% 4.0 B+ 85 - 89% 3.5 B 80 - 84% 3.0 C+ 75 - 79% 2.5 C 70 - 74% 2.0 D+ 65 - 69% 1.5 D 60 - 64% 1.0 F <60% 0.0</p><p><Insert Course Name> Page 7 of 8 11/25/2017 005843a630dffcdfc2de47cb68981fd1.doc <Insert Course Name></p><p>Course Project <Provide the course project name, description, objectives, and details.></p><p>Project Name <Insert project name here.></p><p>Project Description <Provide a 2-4 sentence description of the project.></p><p>Project Objectives</p><p>At the completion of this project, the student will be able to: <List the project objectives.>    </p><p>Project Deliverables <List the deliverables for the project.>     </p><p>Project Details</p><p>Projec Deadline Student Deliverables Requirements of Project Grading t Phase Lesson # Phase Weights (% of project grade) [1] (Assigned Lesson #)   Due Lesson # [2] (Assigned Lesson #)   Due Lesson # [3] (Assigned Lesson #)   Due Lesson # [4] (Assigned Lesson #)   Due Lesson #</p><p><Insert Course Name> Page 8 of 8 11/25/2017 005843a630dffcdfc2de47cb68981fd1.doc</p>
