Editing Designing Internet Research (Spring 2025) (section)

== Workload ==

This class is a 5 credit class. According to the UW policy, students should expect to devote about 3 hours per week per credit—on average across weeks and students. With this in mind, I plan to assign about a book worth of reading each week. Because we will spend 3-4 hours in class and an hour or two on assignments, on average, I expect everybody to read for about 8-10 hours each week (i.e., about one book's worth of reading time). For some people, reading a book's worth of articles will take longer. For many, it will take less.

I understand this class involves a lot of reading compared to some other courses, especially outside of the social sciences. Historically, students suggest my courses take more time than most classes at UW but less time per week (on average) than 3 hours per credit. Please let me know if you are spending more than 15 hours a week on the class.
