3 créditos por semestre


Explanation:
Puede parecer rizar el rizo pero así resulta más palatable como se puede ver en el ejemplo abajo y más si es para ser leido por un grupo de anglo-parlantes

Example sentence(s):
  • Doce (12) créditos de carga regular más 3 créditos auspiciados por FOPI por semestre del año ...
  • Máximo de créditos por semestre - Escuela de Ingeniería - PUC

3 creditos universitarios (leer explicacion)


Explanation:
Lo primordial es que se trata de creditos universitarios.
Ni siquiera el "semester" en ingles consta de 6 meses. El semestre de otono, por dar un ejemplo, empieza generalmente en setiembre y termina en diciembre. En los paises de habla hispana se usa con frecuencia la palabra trimestre, que es mucho mas exacta con respecto al tiempo de estudio.
Pero aqui lo esencial es saber que se trata de cursos universitarios, asi que seria mejor dejar de lado lo de semestre o trimestre y traducir/transferir el mensaje de fondo.
Es mas, si se trata de la descripcion de un curso en un catalogo universitario, no hay necesidad ni siquiera de incluir "universitarios". "SPAN 1311, espanol para principiantes, 3 creditos" basta y sobra

Example sentence(s):
  • SPAN 1311, espanol para principiantes, 3 creditos
