Enter units

MUST BE 3-DIGITS: MIT units are a series of three numbers. The first number indicates the number of hours spent in class. The second number indicates the number of hours spent in lab/recitation (rarely pertinent for workshops). The third number is the estimated number of hours students are expected to spend outside of class. Adding together the three numbers gives you the total number of units (e.g., 3-0-6 = 9 total)
