HOURS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE, APPRENTICESHIP OR INTERNSHIP
Traditionally, most educators have gone to great lengths to ensure that learners invested sufficient hours as a basis for earning grades. Despite the importance of "time on task," what is more valuable is that a person comes away from a course with a level of skill and understanding that prepares them for life, in a holistic sense. The apprenticeship system in most guilds and trades required a person to be able to perform certain skilled actions or produce items of a certain quality before being promoted. This type of pedagogic approach can be seen in the writing of Johann Amos Comenius (1592-1670); in John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching; or in reminiscences of training by Jean Louis Rudolph Agassiz, in Scudder's In the Laboratory with Agassiz. In other words, "hours spent does not an education make?" While learning does take time, a useful education comes from focusing on practical life-changing results which may or may not be reflected in program length alone.
Program hours here are to be estimated based on:
