credit Dear teachers,
The following sentence is from my textbook:
This course gives three credit points.
Could you please explain why we need the word 'points' here since we have the word 'credit'. Is 'points' here a mistake? It is correct to say ' This course gives three credits' and I think the latter is even better.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

Teacher Re: credit It's OK, but just 'credits' works too.
