Course Length
The college evaluates each course in terms of quarter hours of credit. One unit of credit is usually
equivalent to a minimum of ten academic instruction hours of lecture and examination, twenty
hours of skill development, or thirty hours of externship, or a combination of the three. An academic
instructional hour is fifty minutes.
This class will meet for the equivalent of a minimum of 55 instructional hours or as otherwise
scheduled by the college and at least in conformance with this minimum and the Syllabus. As
specified by the Method of Instruction section of this Outline, the instructor will ensure that the total
class sessions presented consist of a minimum of 33 direct faculty instruction hours and a
maximum of 22 appropriate classroom activity hours.
All course offerings require outside preparation time, which is approximately two hours per lecture
instructional hour and/or one hour per skill development instructional hour, depending on the
background, interest, abilities, and motivation of the individual student.

Method of Instruction
Instructional techniques must be appropriate, and at a collegiate level, to the specific goals and
objectives cited above. Students and instructors must have a clear understanding of the goals and
time requirements of this course, the nature of the course context, and method of evaluation.
This course has two distinct but related instructional phases. The first component constitutes a
minimum of 33 direct faculty instruction hours. This component is the lecture series and provides
instruction in theory, principles or practices of the course. The second component constitutes a
maximum of 22 appropriate classroom activity hours. This component is the skill development
phase of the course and provides students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the lecture
series. Method of instruction must fulfill the intended learner outcomes and competencies stated in
the course goals and objectives and are appropriate to the capabilities of the students. For career
oriented courses, the instructor must demonstrate that an effective relationship exists between
curricular content and current practices in the field.
