Throughout the semester, each week is a self-contained unit. This course is not self-paced. As shown above, six regular assignments are due each week, in addition to Orientation assignments the first week.
Although the course is not self-paced, on the other hand, it is self-scheduled. Create your own schedule each week, so long as you finish each assignment on or before its Due Date as indicated above. To work only on weekends, or only on weekdays, or only on two days each week, see the sample schedules in time management tips. By all means, work ahead (up to two weeks), and don't wait until the last minute!
Tip: Plan to complete assignments at least one day before they are actually due, and to combine two or more assignments on the same day.
