Consider the Cost/Benefit Carefully!
This class is unique and I want you to think long and hard about your participation in it
You will be challenged and pushed to your limit, but you will have a lot of support
Ultimately, the responsibility for learning in this class falls on the student’s shoulders
Your goal should be developing as much as possible as a reader and writer, not simply passing
![Page 10: August 25, 2015 (73X)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/588aea501a28abab6c8b6b75/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Costs The class is 3 hours a day, 2 days a week
for 16 weeks=96 hours in a classroom For each class hour, you should be
committed to 3 hours of time outside class=18 hours a week outside of class THAT’S A PART-TIME JOB!
Demanding workload
