Theory and Laboratory Courses
Courses are broadly classified as Theory and Practical. Theory courses consist of lecture (L) and/or tutorial (T) hours, while Practical (P) courses consist of hours spent in the laboratory. Credits (C) for a course depend on the number of hours of instruction per week and are calculated using a multiplier of one (1) for lecture and tutorial hours, and a multiplier of half (1/2) for practical (laboratory) hours.
For example, a theory course with three lectures and one tutorial per week throughout the semester carries a credit of 4. Similarly, a practical course with four laboratory hours per week throughout the semester carries a credit of 2
