    generally speaking, a semester = 3 credit hours, and a full year course = 6 credit hours. This should be true for most Ontario schools, but I'm not sure if the system is different for other provinces.

    if there's a lab for a particular course (1 semester course), it's 4 credits

    thanks for your help guys, this makes no logical sense whatsoever..

    so lemme get this straight,
    1 semester (half course)= 3 credit hours
    1 full course= 6 hours
    1 half course + lab= 4 credit hours

    what about a full course with lab? 8 credit hours?

    :confused:
