Carnegie Mellon has adopted the method of stating in "units" the quality of work required of students. For the average student, one unit represents one work-hour of time per week throughout the semester. For example, in a 12 unit course, the average student will be expected to spend 12 hours per week in class, in laboratory or completing assigned work.
