1 semester hour is how long?

<p>how many classes do you take so that you can fulfill 6 semester hours of English classes?(this is stated in U of alabama school of medicine admission requirement)</p>

<p>A typical English class is 3 credits.</p>

<p>credits = hours = units…just for clarification of jargon.</p>

<p>English classes are usually 3 credits each. </p>

<p>Usually non-lab classes are 50 minutes per week per credit. So, a 3 credit class might meet 3 times in a week for 50 min each period.</p>
