2. Do you expect this course to be like a correspondence course, or do you expect to work on it at least several different days every week?
This course is not self-paced, but it is self-scheduled. This distinction is very important to understand!
It is self-scheduled because, unlike a regular classroom-based class where you have regular weekly meeting times, there are no mandatory "meeting times" where everyone in this class needs to be online at the same time. To be precise, the class is "asynchronous," in that we're not all supposed to be online at the same time. Unlike with a group chat, tt is 100% up to you to figure out what your "working schedule" is for this class.
However, the course is not self-paced like a correspondence course. It is asynchronous, but coordinated so that students progress through the course together as a cohort. Because this course is designed around student interaction, everyone must keep up and work in tandem. It is not independent study!
Several sample schedules are suggested in time management tips.
You will need a lot of self-discipline in order to come up with a study plan for this class and stick to it. There is an average of one assignment due each day; yet you can work on only two days a week if you want.
Take another look at the weekly assignments and start thinking about how you can fit this into your other regular commitments. Plan ahead and work ahead whenever possible.
Remember: no late assignments are accepted. You have to be able to stick to
the scheduled due dates for each assignment.
