The old "Carnegie Rule" which I have heard from professors way back in the
50's and most recently a week ago from our own Dean, was "Spend at least
two hours in homework for every hour spent in class, more if you want a
grade higher than C."
I expect that, but seldom get it. :-) Students feel that education should
not interfere with their social life.
