<p>^ Credits, units, these are basically arbitrary. At MIT, how many units something is is approximately how many hours per week you’ll need to spend on the class (including study time).* At other schools, I believe they do units by how many hours you spend in class per week. But all this depends on how the school wants to set up their system, and MIT doesn’t follow the typical system.</p>
<p>I was saying that CSULA classes seem much easier than MIT classes, despite technically having the same “load” (conversion being 16*3=48).</p>
