1,200 credits hours explained

A few teachers thought that a student should complete 1,200 credit hours to earn credits. That does not mean that 1,200 hours actual classroom teaching will happen. Now teachers thought that it is a burden on them and 1,200 credit hours they have to teach in the classroom. 1,200 credit hours are to be earned by the student. There will be classroom teaching, now the gap we have to fill in through field work, assignment, project… whatever student is doing in respect of academics in his home also will be considered as credit hours. So that was one confusion.
