how many hours are considered half time in college?

Depends a lot on the college and their system of credits. \n\nThat said, 12 credit hours at a US school is full time, so half time would be 6-8 hours. That corresponds to 2-3 classes.

Lucky you.  If you're planning on staying in school, though, I'd recommend you worry less about pay and more about flexible work hours and not getting overworked (20 hours a week is enough, if not too much).  A lot of folks ruin their college experience and finish without being able to think as well as they should because they jump into a job too soon.

Yea, i see where ur commin from. im 16 and a sophmore in high school but 7 hours of school is not really that much time in class cuz u gotta look at it as u gotta take out ur lunch that a half hour usually. then there is all the passing time for changing classes...thats about an half hour or more. so ur only in classes 6hrs right there that is only 1/4 of the day. besides the homework is to refresh your memory on what u learned in class that way u can learn something new next class. and 182 school days out of 365..thats not that many. i used to wonder the same thing and i used to think it was torture but its honestly not. ITS TO HELP YOU!!

Normally 12 credit hours is considered attending full time, and is the amount recommended.  A lot of it depends on which classes you're taking.  If you have a number of difficult classes, I would say only take 9 or so credit hours.  If you have a number of easy ones, you could take up to 15.  Some schools have a set amount you have to take in order to get money for loans/ financial aid, so that would be something to check into.  Just make sure you don't try and overdue it, because you don't want ot take on more than you can handle, especially in the beginning.  You can always add more classes in for later semesters once you see how the first semester goes.  It's also a good idea to check if you have any classes you should take consecutively (such as a science class and a lab), as well as doing the prerequisite classes early so you can do the more advanced classes later.\n\n3 credit hours is normally equal to one class, although this can vary for electives and some other classes.

Part time is considered up to 32 hrs a week...anything beyond that is full time.....   I work 39 hrs a week with full insurance benefits.\n\nat least here where I live it's like that...look into your State's labor board rules and regulations for more info.

If you are referring to a college course, credits and credit hours mean the same thing.  Usually a 3 credit course meets 3 hours a week for one term.  In any case, if you earn 3 credits, you need another 27 credits to meet the 30 credit hour requirement.

It depends on where you work. Some places round to the quarter hour and some round to the nearest half hour, etc. If you round to the nearest quarter hour and work from 6:05 am to 6:17 pm, 6:05 would round down to 6:00 and 6:17 would round down to 6:15. That would mean that you worked 12 1/4 hours.

I'm a full time college student with a full time job and another part time job. I usually end up going to bed around 12 or 1 in the morning, and waking up around 5 or 6, depends what time I have to be at work, sometimes even 4 AM. I usually run on about 5-6 hours of sleep each day. It is tiring, but that's life.

(a) 50 minutes.  The first part of class gets wasted taking attendance, settling the students down, and beginning lessons.  The last few minutes are wasted because students are anxious to get out of class.  Actual teaching time is probably about 40 minutes out of that 50.\n\n(b) 100 minutes with a break.  Those are the college classes I have now and they are manageable but long.  There is more than enough time for group discussion and lecture time.  There is also plenty of time for exams.\n\n(c) 60 to 90 minutes with a break as well.  Adults have to balance a lot more than high school or college students so they should have the flexibility of shorter classes.  There is still time for lecture and discussion as well as exams.

At college we had ten minutes and the campus was huge.  I had to haul my fat butt across at top speed just to be on time and then I was gasping as I pulled my coat off and got my books out.  I'd have quit school and became a fry cook if I had to do it in just 4 minutes.\nYou need to clear your mind between classes and you need a chance to settle in.  6 to ten minutes is best if the classes are all in the same building.

Yes.  Students are required to give 50 hours each year to the Community.  We have even develpoed a program for the Middle School to implement.  We are currently having them give 10 hours but, it was so successful we are increasing it to 25 hours!

As a teacher, I can tell you that it really depends on what your teacher is like.  I like to give at least a little bit of homework each night, because it helps students to remember what they learned in school by making them think about it again at home.\n\nI would think a half-hour to an hour should be a good amount to expect.  Even if your teacher does not actually assign this amount of homework, you should still do your own review, to help you remember the material.

I found this from a web search:\n\nCredit Hour \nThe credit hour is the basic unit of measure for college credit. Most courses at Dallas Baptist University are offered for three semester hours of college credit. This means that the student invests the equivalent of three hours per week in the formal instruction process for each three-hour course. The student should invest much more actual time than this for each three-hour course in order to complete the necessary library and preparatory work for formal instruction periods. Laboratory classes are exceptions to this example as are certain music classes and other classes that require the development of various skills.\n\nNow when you say quarter credit hour, it just means that your school is on a quarter schedule instead of a semester schedule. You still need to spend at least that amount of hours a week to get your course work completed (usually it is a lot more than that...as you go higher in classes you will probably need to spend at least 3 times your class credit hours).\n\nHope that helped!!

Usually a regular college class has 3 credits, or credit hours. Some courses vary and have 1, labs, or up to 6 credits.
