Homework and Study Skills

The topic of making homework count (re: Blogger Dominick Recckio / Edutopia) seems to provide for great dialogue; therefore, I will propose here another take on the same article.

The survey results on homework conducted by Dominick Recckio indicate that the “top 10%” of the students included homework as part of their routine; as a result, they always made sure it was done.

How much time do you spend on assignments and “homework” in your online courses? When the Final Course Survey comes from CMU, and one of the questions is: “how much time did you spend on this course…” Do you check: “more than 85 hours,” “more than 45 hours” or something else?

The term “homework” seems to be associated with grade school and high school; however, all our readings and videos in our online learning fall under the umbrella of “homework” – do we actually sit down to read and view all the assigned literature / resource?

How many of us actually enjoy “having to do homework” on a weekly basis?

The answers should be quite interesting…
