weekly workflow

Most college courses are designed with the intent that students spend, on average, 2-3 hours for each credit hour per week of the semester. For this 3-hour course, that means you should expect to spend 6-9 hours per week. Since we spend roughly 1.5 hours in face-to-face meetings, that leaves 4.5-7.5 hours that you should plan to schedule throughout the week, every week. Cognitive science recommends working at small bursts throughout the week rather than in one lengthy session. For this reason, ARC 331 has several activity markers through the week (see below); you are encouraged to likewise plan your week so that you are working consistently with the material. No matter the pace you choose, you are advised to work through the readings and online materials in the sequence indicated for each day on the calendar.
