   I usually tell students to follow the old rule of thumb I learned--
2 hours of work outside of class for each hour spent in class.  However,
it's my impression most students don't spend that much time on their
schoolwork.  A colleague in computer science here has been having students
log their time as a spreadsheet exercise, and he reports to me that he
has been getting about the same result semester after semester--the
college students in his classes report spending no more than about
30 hours per week on their schoolwork, including the time they are
in class.  (When I was in high school about a hundred years ago, we
were routinely given several hours of homework per day.)
