Heading: Hours of Study and Total Duration of Program

Text: During the course of the program approximately 600 hours of resident instruction will have been offered to the participants at the University of Florida College of Law. 575 of these hours have been in the form of regularly scheduled classroom hours. An estimate of approximately 25 hours of instruction has been assigned to the legal writing program to account for the irregularly scheduled lectures and consultations required. The method of instruction used in all courses additionally required literally hundreds of hours in reading, study, composition and preparation outside of the classroom on the part of each participant. Generally, the total hours of instruction were divided into 32 to 35 hour blocks for each course taught. However, appropriate course coverage on occasion required reallocation of the time available among the courses in somewhat different configurations. The variations would not seem sufficiently significant to detail. As previously indicated, the program commenced on August 15, 1974 and will be concluded on June 30, 1977.
