I think 3 hours outside of class for ever hour in class is our (official
or unofficial) policy and I remind students of that on the first day.
Seems to cut down on the grumblings later on.

In my syllabus I tell students 3 hours per credit hour, so approximately an
average of 9 hours per week of homework. I think any of them seldom
really need
to do quite that much work, but that's what I tell them.

Quoting Blaine Peden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
A comment and question from the land of Srooge and the Grinch where
finals exams continue through 5 pm thursday, December 22.
As part of a student self-assessment regarding how students achieved
the course goals, I included an open ended question: Indicate what I
should have asked you to do with respect to your self-evaluation and
also answer the question.
You should have asked us how many hours of unpaid work we have done on
all of these assignments? 36 assignments at about 1.5 hours a piece
equal 54 hours of work, not including the final or this assignment.
That is a lot of hours for a 3 credit class! So I figure we did a lot
of work in this class! I think 54+ hours deserves an A especially at
3:34am in the morning!
So am I laboring under a misconception that students are expected to
put in a couple of hours work for each class?
thanks, and i hope you all enjoy the holidays, blaine
