Design a student centered course!!!

14 – 15 weeks is too long – leaves students in danger of procrastination. 7 – 8 weeks is ideal – long enough to promote discussion & group work. 4 weeks – winter session – ideal for skill courses for motivated students getting back on track.

A fifteen week semester divided into two parts each part 7 – 7.5 weeks long

No more than two at the same time!
