| Hours Arranged. Depends on what college you go to. Some of them are real sticklers about the extra hours, others more lax. The college I'm familar with has a bunch of regulations about what it means - it has to be supervised by the professor and be related to the class. For a theatre class it might mean working on costumes or stage production, for a film class it might mean attending film festivals, for a language class it might mean hours in the language lab, for an art class it might mean field trips to museums, etc. Again - depends on the school and how the professor decides to handle it. I had a film class where the prof did NOT directly supervise our HRS ARR(though this is technically a big no no) and we just could fill in our sheets with whatever movies we watched and he'd sign us off.
Find out if the 8 hours is weekly or the entire semester/quarter. Find out what kinds of things the prof does to have those fulfilled.
