I'm assuming there is a difference in the amount of work between a 5-credit semester class and a 5-credit quarter class. At least I hope there is because otherwise I should have gone to a college on the semester system.

ETA: "Quarters" were more like trimesters, as there were three terms during the regular school year. Summer session was considered the fourth. I believe some quarter schools don't play that game, though.

I believe the conversion of units between quarter and semester was 1.5 = 1.

Sounds correct/familiar to me.
