Well, "credit hours" made a certain amount of sense at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute where I attended. A 3 credit hour class (which was

didn't reflect the lab time in the credit hours, courses split into a
large lecture session and a smaller session [where homework was reviewed
and quizzes taken] counted the hours of both sessions - these were
usually 4 credit hour classes, 2 hours of lecture per week and 2 hours
of smaller class]).

I guess I'm just stuck saying 'ick'... My instincts just tell me to measure
courses by evaluated content, not time... But I spose if you wanted to
measure it that way, I guess I can't say there isn't a logical reason behind
it. Oh well... Oh, and to keep going for kicks, that system would mean I got
28 credit hours of philosophy...
