Course vector and credits

Each course is assigned a course vector which indicates the number of instructional hours required and credits to be earned. The course vector is presented in the form of [L - T - Lab : C], where

• L = lecture hours per week
• T = tutorial, seminar or recitation hours per week
• Lab = laboratory or field study hours per week
• C = number of course credits

For example, a course vector of [3-1-2:3] denotes a course that requires 3 lecture hours, 1 tutorial/seminar/recitation hour, and 2 laboratory/field study hours each week, and carries 3 credits.
