  • Productively spend 2-3 hours on classwork outside of class (6-9 / week) for every hour in class (3 / week)

    • If you cannot dedicate at least 6 hours outside of class on this course per week, do not expect to do very well.

    • If you are able to meet the requirements for assignments in less time, challenge yourself and go above and beyond. There will be varying levels of experience and ability in the class. Your goal should be improvement.

    • If you find that you need more than 9 hours per week outside of class to understand and complete assignments you probably need a different approach. Please speak to the professor and / or instructional support.
