How much homework is in Biology?

We estimate that the course workload will take 5-7 hours per week. Students will have 2 weeks to cover a chapter. During a typical week, students will complete the following:

• 60–90 minutes of live class instruction
• 10-15 pages of reading
• 1 short vocabulary activity
• 1 study guide
• One or two pre-recorded instructional videos some weeks, 2-5 minutes each
• Two to four virtual or hands-on lab experiments, 20–30 minutes each
• Complete a quiz or test on the content of half a chapter
• Students will also periodically compelte discussion prompts and one scaffolded formal lab report each semester
