<p>I’ve noticed many classes, especially online courses say 4.0 HRS ARR. But am not sure what this mean. does this time needed to be spent online a week or something? </p>
<p>I’m currently looking at taking a Computer System Info class and its a 9 week online course and states “8.0 HRS ARR” </p>
<p>What does this mean? </p>
<p>I’m already signed up for 4 classes and am wondering if this 8.0 HRS ARR will be too much for me to tackle, though everyone says this Professor is the easiest and best.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
