Why do some lessons in this document have high ects? Are ects numbers for a single term or a whole year? I don’t know how these ects numbers are calculeted in Bulgaria. Can you help me?

5 ECTS is a lot to you?
The History of… are the only ones that stand out, I guess they much some have some additional class time.
All the grammar ones likely are a class and lab combo.
Second Foreign language probably has classes 4-5 times a week.
Ultimately though it is time that is being measured, so without knowing the hours, we can’t tell if these are too generous. Bulgaria doesn’t seem to deviate there at least on paper, 25~30 hours per credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Credit_Transfer_and_Accumulation_System
Edit: After some googling, this seems to be for the Shumen University Erasmus program, and for the courses I found on their site for regular students, yeah, the credits are inflated here. Don’t know why, haven’t done Erasmus myself. If they are being taught in Bulgaria, that would be more workload for you (but is this the case?), or are you going to have some heavier obligatory Bulgarian language course with no ECTS credits? In any case, numbers are indeed high compared to what the university usually has for these courses.
