How much time (e.g., class time, studying for classes and tests, completing assignments) should a student set aside to excel in these courses?
PHC Prep courses are designed so that a student can do well with about three hours of study per class hour each week. Because there is no classroom time nor commuting for online courses, the time normally spent in the classroom should be added to your anticipated study time. For a three-credit course, this equates to a total time investment of about 10–15 hours per week per course. Please note that this time estimate is only a guideline; the number will increase when you are preparing for an exam or writing a paper. Much depends on your personal study habits, the type of learner you are, and how well you understand and retain the course material. Since PHC Prep courses are all online courses, you will need to have access to the internet. The internet will be used for accessing lectures, communicating with professors and students, researching, submitting papers, and taking tests.
