cimoreneU.S. credit hours
Finnish universities do not use the same credit hour system as U.S. universities do. In Finland student's progress towards a degree is measured in credits defined as the equivalent of 40 hours of work on the part of the student. One credit consists of the actual hours spent in class as well as homework: reading and papers written at home. A U.S. "3-hour course" would correspond to 1.5 credits in Finland.
so i have to have four of those 1.5 courses in finland credits, and ignore the ects crap. yay. okay. that means... 6 finnish credits is an amherst schedule. ::breathes again::
