• Homework/Case Study Assignments
• Quizzes
• Weekly Discussions
• Labs/Lab Reports (for students taking the lab)

Most students dedicate 10-15 hours per week to the course; 13-18 if taking Lab (HA&P1-457).
We recommend planning several 1- 2 hour study blocks throughout the week and checking into the course daily once the discussions begin.
