      Professors are expected to assign two hours of homework for every hour of class time. Our course will meet for 2.5 hours per week this semester, so you should plan 5 hours per week of homework - more if your academic skills are weak. To help you manage your time, print two copies of the grid that appears below. Plan your activities for this semester on a weekly basis. On one copy of this grid, which you will keep, fill in your complete schedule of activities. On the other copy, show me when you intend to do your 5+ hours of homework for this course each week. (You're welcome to list your complete schedule on the copy that you give to me, but none of it is my business except for what pertains to this course).
