The credit is a unit that assigns a numerical value to the workload required to achieve the specific objectives of a course. Each credit corresponds to 45 hours of learning activities (class presentations, practical work, homework, etc.), including evaluation (exams, term papers, etc.). A session lasts 15 weeks and a course generally is worth 3 credits. This means that each course corresponds to a workload of about 9 hours per week, including hours of compulsory attendance in the classroom or laboratory. A 3-credit course at UQAM is equivalent to a 6-credit ECTS course.
