Credit students with volunteer hours, Hours ratio |
"No", "Yes" or "Use course subject settings". If "Yes", upon successfully completing this course, students will be credited with volunteer hours based on the duration of the course. Select the job with which they'll be credited the hours (you may want to set up a special job just for this purpose) and the Hours ratio. Each volunteer will get, as his hours, the duration of this course multiplied by the hours ratio / 100. For example, a three hour class with an hours ratio of 50% would net each student 1.5 volunteer hours. If "No", students will not be credited with hours regardless of the course subject's settings, otherwise the course subject's settings will be used here. |
