MW: Course Pattern and Flow

The ESL Block is set up with a pattern and a sense of flow to help you manage the many life responsibilities you have. 

For the Spring semester, we will be covering one module each week. There is generally one chapter reading for each module, along with other readings, videos, and activities. In addition to the module work. 

The week will begin on Monday each week. All assignments for the first module of the week will close at 11:59 PM on Friday of that week for both 3332 & 4360.  Your  week will look like this:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

HOW TO MANAGE IT ALL

Fitting six credits requires significant self discipline, especially in an online course. This table shows one way to organize your workload. You may have a better way to organize it that accommodates your other responsibilities better. How your structure your week is not a major concern of mine; ensuring that you DO have a plan in place is most important.

Whatever routine you design, be sure to include time for relationships, movement, and rest. Enjoy some sunshine each day, to your preferred level of tolerance. You are carrying a heavy load, yet you are strong enough to sustain it.

Make sure that you don't let your coursework be included in the "sand" - it is a terrible feeling!
