Table-IV.

Calculation of Credit hour* (an analogue of learning a car driving)

No Driving school (Face to Face) Independent learning (Non Face to Face) Exam (30 minutes) Result Credit Hours
First Time Lecture (2 Hours) 4 Hours ½ Hour Passed (Theory) 2 + 4 + 0.5 = 6.5 Hrs
Practical training (20 Hours) ------ ½ Hour Failed (Practical) 20 + 0.5 = 20.5 Hrs
Second Time ------ He does practice of driving by himself. He practiced 60 Hours ½ Hour Passed and awarded driving license 60 + 0.5 = 60.5 Hrs
Total teaching and learning hours Credit Hours 6.5 + 20.5 + 60.5 = 87.5 87.5 /40 = 2.1
*

Learning outcome is driving achieved by lecture + practical skills (Face to Face) + Non Face to Face(self-study and self-practice) which are calculated (87.5 Hours) and divided by 40 - a full time working time of a week (employee or full time student). Assessment is via theory and practical (driving) exam and this learning outcome (driving) is a 2 credit hour course.
