college class cost, credits

[sonoma1993]

Why do colleges charge for classes, per credit instead of per class. Some classes that you have to take are 4 to 5 credits. My school charges about $300 per credit. Each class is 4 credits, that $1200 for one college class.

So you want to pay the same for a 1 hour lab that you'd pay for a 5 hour class?

1200 a class isn't bad

I just think diffrent classes, should have diffrent cost to them. This one girl I knew, she had a gym class that was mainly walking outside all over town. I think it was a 2 credit hour class few days week. I dunno how you can put a cost on walking around town for a gym class.

college: antiquated knowledge at exorbitant cost

Because in theory the college has to use more resources to teach a 5 credit class than a 4 credit one. Not saying it isn't BS, just the logic they use.
