168 HOUR ASSIGNMENT

There are only so many hours in a week. Most of us have busy schedules, so its important to think about the way you currently spend your time and then plan how you will
organize and plan your time to accomodate this online course and any other classes you are taking. For this assignment, youll be asked to assess your current schedule and the
hourly amount of time spent on various activities (page 2). Youll then be asked to create a tentative weekly schedule where you set aside time specifically for this online class
on page 3.
Note: Make sure to list each of the classes you are taking separately.
