Xi'an is renowned as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China and also as the eastern terminus of the Silk Road. A walk downtown revealed a veritable trove of Tang Dynasty, pagoda-style buildings, even the local KFC. I was pleased to run across the city's Muslim Quarter and get a good beef kebab for my dinner.
The noun SEMESTER HOUR has 1 sense: 1. a unit of academic credit; one hour a week for an academic semester. Familiarity information: SEMESTER HOUR used as a noun is very rare.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The rule of thumb is that 1 semester hour is equal to 1 hour per week for a semester in the classroom. 3 semester hours is 3 hours per week in class per semester. This is different for labs though where 1 semester hour = 3 hours in lab per week for a semester. I'd think an internship is closer to a lab than an academic class so it'd be 1 semester hour = 3 contact hours or 3 semester hours = 9 contact hours.
