Do you know how much time it takes students to complete your course? This calculation tool helps you estimate the workload for your students, both week-by-week and in total.
Use the tool to plan your course when you are completing your outline and syllabus, and deciding on activities and an evaluation plan. The calculator uses detailed metrics to estimate the amount of time students will need for reading, writing, projects, and other learning activities.
Once you have a course summary, you will be able to look at your course syllabus and ask yourself:
- Is this workload achievable given the time constraints of the course?
- Is the course workload fair given the credit count for the course?
Not only is the estimator helpful for giving you an overall picture of course workload, but you can use it to guide students on how much time they should expect to spend on homework and other components.
