TIME CALCULATIONS HW 2: 1.50 HOURS
I assume that it take you 4 minutes to read a page of complex college-level text and 3 minutes to read a less complex page. So, since this hw's reading is 9 pages and fairly it should take you 36 minutes to read.. Then there's the introduction to claim/evidence/warrant and the questions. I assume the six pages of introduction to claim/evidence/warrant will take you 24 minutes to do if you spend about four minutes per page absorbing the material; there's much less to read per page and so most of this work will be absorbing rather than reading the material. The first question of the homework (exercise 1 of HW2) might take you 10 minutes. The remaining 2 questions should take you no more than 20 minutes, if you spend 6 to 12 minutes per question.
Here's how that breaks down:
ACTIVITY | MINUTES |
Reading Simon Cole (9 pp @ 4 min per) | 36 |
Cl/Ev/Wa reading | 24 |
Question 1 (lunchroom) | 10 |
2 questions | 20 |
total | 90 |
So, 1 hour and 30 minutes. . You'll see that 3 hours is a lot less than college counselors recommend you spend studying every week per class. It is, however, exactly what the director of the First Year Experience, Ms. Katie Szur, recommends that faculty assign.
