Those of you who have taken or are taking this class, how many hours a week do you spend on class work? I know how many hours per week I spend on a 5 week course, just wondering if it is the same material stretched out (and less intense) or just more work.

i dont spend long, maybe 5 hours a week? idk, this class is not intense. just boring for me. the assignments are not difficult the only resource you need is your book

I think it depends on who you are taking it with. Prof F doesn't use a book, but the weekly articles can serve as a reference. The DB doesn't require references. I would say I spend 2-6 hours a week on it. More when one of the bigger projects is due, but even that I started and finished in one day within 6 hours or so.

I spend between 4 - 8 hours per week. I do read the chapters because they are not long and they are informative. However, my TA is driving me crazy. She sends emails that say things like use what I have noted about your work on the following week to improve your grade. Well, I do not even get my grades from her until Saturdays, when things are due. It is crazy. I emailed and was told, I grade things in the order received. Well, I wait until I get my grades back. They come on Saturday, every time. No winning.

ugh i cant wait to be done!! just need this last paper! how long was yours?

zookeeper5 · May 30, 2012

My paper was a complete 2 pages. I had about 9 in text citations and I only referenced the text. The requirements only said max of 5 pages so that is what I stuck too. I said all I needed to say in 2. This class seemed sooo long.

I just picked 3 things that I felt were important in the class. Then I broke those up into sub topics. I used breaking old habits and creating new ones ( I then broke that into the steps), effective communication (broke that into listening and sending) and then creating goals (no subtopics there). Then of course the conclusion. It actually was easy when you broke it up. It didnt seem so hard to write.

The text we used was a human relations book that cost 60 to rent.
