Each Foundations (F), Inquiry (I), and Practice (P) course is four units. The additional unit, also called the engagement unit, is designed to enrich your learning experiences and to facilitate your achievement of course learning objectives. The activities you'll complete for the engagement unit will deepen your understanding of course materials as you engage in meaningful ways with the concepts you're learning in the course. Students enrolled in 4-unit courses are expected to spend on average of 45 hours (or 3 hours per week over the course of a regular semester) outside of the classroom to complete engagement activities. This unit is worth 25% of the overall grade.
