(2) At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution including laboratory work, internships, practicum, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours."

In the case of a Directed study or Independent research, the student should be doing most of the work under the guidance of a faculty member. For each credit awarded in the directed study/independent research, this translates to about 45 hours of work.
