    UoT works on credits: Fullyear course is 1.0, Halfyear course is 0.5. To be a full-time student you need to have 3.0 credits or more worth of courses, anything less than that is part-time. You can have a maximum 5.0 credits per year, with 6.0 credits granted for a limited time registration early in the year if you want to add a 6th credit. And you need 20.0 credits to graduate.

    Because mainstream Amerka is chained to the 40-hour work week.

    what does that mean?!
    she's basically an anthropologist

    in my opinion that just means she's the writer and he's the cosmologist

    anyway it's a fascinating book. very cool and they make a good point

    wait, you were being serious?

    you're like a year away from becoming a scientologist
    like, you obviously don't know what the book's about, at all, if you're saying that

    UofA works on a standard credit hour system

    3 credits for a one-semester class (even if it's 7 hours a week when you add up 3 hours of lecture, a 3 hours weekly lab, and a weekly seminar), 6 for a full year. 1.5 on slack gym classes for the jocks in Phys Ed.

    30 a year would be a full schedule, 18 is minimum full-time load.
