How long does it take to complete a course?
Courses are currently structured to coincide (begin and end) with the campus’ normal schedule. Courses are sixteen weeks during Fall and Spring semesters and six weeks for Summer Session. Most 2 credit classes are scheduled with the first or last 8 weeks of the term. Some 3 credit classes may run for only 8 weeks.
Each course contains between three and six lessons. A typical lesson may take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to complete, not including the additional exercises at the end of each lesson. You can begin and return to these lessons at anytime and therefore spend as long or as little time as you want. Some instructors may suggest additional activities to help reinforce the course material. These exercises can be done at your own pace. To obtain the greatest benefit from the self-paced courses at SongU.com, we recommend completing at most one to two lessons per week and at least one lesson per month. The best pace is usually one or two lessons per week to give you time to absorb and apply the information (think of it more like your weekly guitar or voice lesson).
Each course contains three to ten classes. The rule of thumb is that each class can be completed in 60-120 minutes. Understanding Wine contains ten classes packed with more than 70 video-clips, worksheets for each class and 10 tutored tastings; allow 120 minutes for each class or about 20 hours for the course. The ABCs of Wine Tasting contains three classes, and two of those classes are mainly tutored tastings; allow 60-90 minutes per class or four hours for the course.
