Chapter 3 - Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Chapter 3. Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Section 3.2 Teaching 3.2.4 Class Times Normally lecture and recitation courses meet for 50 minutes of instruction for each credit assigned to the class. A laboratory course typically meets for 100 to 150 minutes for each credit assigned to the laboratory course or the laboratory component of a course. For an undergraduate course the expectation is approximately two hours of work outside of class for each lecture or recitation credit. A typical three credit course meets three days a week for 50 minutes each day or two days a week for 75 minutes each day.
Classes normally start at five minutes past the hour or half-hour.
When a classroom is used sequentially by different instructors, use of the room in the interval between classes should be determined informally, collegially, and equitably. Formally, however, the interval is to be divided equally between the instructors. Michigan Technological University . All Rights Reserved.
