Reads like every syllabus I've ever seen: <ridiculous amount> of hours is required. If you don't put in these hours, don't expect to pass! It's just a cop-out so the professor can assert it's your fault for not studying enough if you fail. In reality, most of the kids who pass will probably study 5 ish hours per week for that class, if they are lucky and have time.
