Student workload estimates

The full length course has a total video playback time of about 3 hours. The abridged sequence of lectures removes some less-essential material for the purposes of reducing total video time to about 1.5-2 hours.

Assessments

These are short question sets that go with each course module. The HTML view version displays the questions in the browser. The Blackboard import file is a 'blackboard test' zip file that can be imported into your blackboard course and given to students as an online quiz within blackboard.

Since all questions are either multiple choice or numeric-answer questions, blackboard will grade them automatically, without requiring any work on the part of the instructor. The students' grades will automatically get populated in the grade center.

The specific lessons covering each question are listed below each assessment.
