What this tool helps you organize
Translate total taught and independent study hours into a weekly average. It is one defined worksheet, not a complete assessment of your circumstances.
An average hides deadline peaks; it is not an official credit or workload requirement.
Method and calculation rules
Weekly average = (taught + independent study + assessment hours) ÷ teaching weeks.
Display values are rounded for readability. The calculation uses the entered numbers before display rounding. Whole-unit outputs use the rounding rule stated in the method.
Know your inputs
- Teaching weeks — Accepted range: 1 to 1000 in whole numbers.
- Total taught hours — Accepted range: 0 to 1000000.
- Total independent-study hours — Accepted range: 0 to 1000000.
- Total assessment hours — Accepted range: 0 to 1000000.
A worked example
Illustrative inputs: Teaching weeks: 12; Total taught hours: 96; Total independent-study hours: 180; Total assessment hours: 36.
Average weekly workload: 26 h
Total period workload: 312 h
Independent weekly average: 15 h
These sample figures illustrate the formula, not a recommended target or a prediction.
How to use the working copy
Define a single scenario, check the units and replace each sample value that does not match it. Calculate and read all three result components, not just the most favorable number.
Change one assumption to compare scenarios. An edited field makes the previous answer stale; recalculate before downloading or printing. Reset sample clears the open result and restores the example entries.
What the answer cannot establish
An average hides deadline peaks; it is not an official credit or workload requirement.
The tool does not verify the accuracy, completeness or current validity of your inputs. Use authoritative current information and qualified judgement when the decision requires them.
Questions about this worksheet
Are the starting values a suggested target?
No. They show how the arithmetic behaves. Use your own checked values and do not infer a recommendation.
Why is my previous result marked stale?
Changing an input means the displayed answer no longer describes the current fields. Recalculate to refresh it.
Can I share an export?
Review the entries and limitations first. A downloaded file is a working copy, not an independently verified report.
