Wednesday Thursday

Prepare and post follow up to classmates' postings. Spend an hour or so working on your upcoming paper. Connect to Norwich's Kreitzberg Library and search the online databases for information that may be useful.

Continue working on this week's postings until 9:00 when it’s time to tuck in the kids. Get back to the computer and follow up with your group mates in the “studentlounge” on topics such as the Comprehensive Exam or the Exit Portfolio, then log out for the evening.

3-4 hours


Friday Saturday

Wrestle with homework problems for a while and then do some last minute polishing on your final discussion postings. Congratulate yourself on a job well done with your favorite beverage and hit the sack.

Get up at 8:00, drink some coffee, then get to work. You’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the final paper and wantto try out some ideas with your teammates. Invest a couple of hours in your upcoming paper and spend the rest of the afternoon and the evening with family and friends.

=16 – 23 hours

If you’ve kept your nose to the grindstone all week, today could belong completely to you. But let’s face it, we all have times when we’re not as efficient and disciplined as we’d like to be. You may have to spend a couple of hours today starting the upcoming week’s reading assignments before flipping on the TV.
