Andrea Allen

A 3 credit hour course means that you need to work 9 hours a week on coursework. This is a hybrid course, so 75 minutes are strictly dedicated to in-class work. The remaining hours are to be completed outside of class, online. Given that, this course’s work breaks down as follows. Note, the times below are approximate; something may take you more or less time than stated.

75 minutes for in-class work
2 hours for reading the assigned readings
4 hours for annotating the assigned readings
