Carnegie unit
A Carnegie unit is a long-standing American measure of high school credit based on time in class over a school year, commonly given as about 120 hours.
It dates from the early twentieth century and still shapes how many schools count credit. Homeschool families often use it as a reference point when deciding how many hours make a credit.
For the record you keep
If you assign credit by time, log minutes per course; the total is your evidence for the credit.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
