Why is it that courses in Kinesiology (Tennis, Bowling, Racquetball, Golf, Exercise/Fitness Concepts) or Applied Music (Piano Class, Jazz, Voice Lessons) are worth only 1.00 credit hours but courses in Mathematics or Science are worth 3.00 or 4.00 credit hours?

Why are the simpler courses worth less than the mainstream courses? Do you agree that Bowling should be worth 3.00 credit hours instead of 1.00 credit hour? People always like to push the harder courses. I’m trying to up my GPA some more, but I can’t do it if a course is only worth 1.00 credit hour. Let’s compare the course load for a semester, for example.

KINE 1115 Golf 1.00
KINE 1112 Exercise/Fitness 1.00
MUSI 1181 Piano Class I 1.00
MUAP1101 Music App.- Strings 1.00
=============================
Total Credit Hours = 4.00 (Less than Half-Time)

Now, lets look at the same number of courses, but with the mainstream.

MATH 1314 College Algebra 3.00
HIST 1302 U.S. History II 3.00
BIOL 2406 Environmental Science 4.00
ACNT 1303 Intro. Accounting I 3.00
==================================
Total Credit Hours= 13.00 (Full-Time)

See, you can’t even be full time with the Kinesiology or Music courses alone. You only get 4.00 credits for those 4 courses. But with the 4 mainstream courses, you get 13. Why is it like this?

more credit hours= more work, and less credit hours = less work. The school don’t want to give out free grades. You must earn them with hard work.
