Do you manage expected #student work load, care for their #workload, rely on #students to self-manage their #work#load? Or, how do you relate otherwise in your #teaching to the hours students are to engage in studying?
@i_ngli@sociology@sts@anthropology one small thing I began to do about 8 years ago was include an estimate - in brackets - of the time I thought each assignment might take. Students with anxiety esp mentioned how it helped ease worry and their tendency to make projects bigger than was necessary. It was much better, they said, than simply posting a word-count.
