This course is a 3-credit class, so it is expected that you will be involved appropriately
with respect to your on-line time. For each single credit, you would be spending 3 hours
of work EACH CLASS- one hour in class and 2 hours of reading and studying outside of
class. For a face-to-face 3-credit class, you should be reading, studying, and completing
the assignments outside of class for about 8 hours per week.
