a) A credit hour means teaching/learning a theory course for one hour each week throughout the semester.
b) One credit hour in laboratory or practical work/project would require lab contact of three hours per week throughout the semester.
c) The credit hours are denoted by two digits within brackets with a hyphen/plus in between. The first digit represents the theory part while the second (right side) digit represents the practical.
d) Thus 3(3+0)/3(3-0) means three credit hours of theory, while 4(3+1)/4(3-1) means a total of four credit hours, of which three are of theory while one credit hour is for laboratory/studio work/field work/practical work supervised and graded by the faculty, and 4(1+3)/4(1-3) means a total of four credit hours, of which one is of theory while three credit hours are for laboratory/studio work/field work/practical work as per requirement of discipline.
