Q Time Flies PLEASE NOTE: This assignment will be used to inform your Course Project in Week 4. Making the transition to higher education is not always easy regardless of whether you are a traditional or nontraditional student. It is critical that you make room in your already busy life for classes and homework. Did you know that for every credit hour of a college course, you should spend two hours studying/preparing assignments? Course Credit Hours Total Time for Coursework Suggested Time Devoted to Coursework Per Day (x7 days) 1 credit hour 2 hours 30 minutes 2 credit hours 4 hours 1 hour 4 credit hours 8 hours 2 hours 6 credit hours 12 hours 3 hours Look at the chart above. Since College Management is a 2 credit hour course, you should plan to spend 8 hours per week on class readings, studying, and assignment preparation. Consider the other classes you take and how much time you should devote to studying per quarter. FUN FACT: When you avoid timewasters, you have more time to spend on the things you love. Purposefully schedule in that time for a healthy work/life balance. Watch the videos below and reflect on how you spend your time. What changes to your time management will you need to make now that you are in college? Assignment: After considering the chart above and watching the videos, consider the following: What are your timewasters? Netflix? Facebook? Instagram? ESPN?
