Have Your Say - What to do? How much homework?

I have some overall plans for the term, and more specific class plans for the coming week and for each day, but since we can also be flexible, I have a couple of suggestions for discussion. 

The first follow up the two polls: 
  • on how many hours students in this class should reasonably expect to do every day outside of class;
    and 
  • how we should use our time in class. 
After you cast your vote in the polls, please feel welcome to add a comment below supporting your answer, and if necessary, explaining why your classmates who favour a different number should change their minds.  

You might like to follow up by reading "AEP, Academic English and TOEFL: common threads" (Peter, 2011), skimming through TOEFL iBT Tips: How to Prepare for the TOEFL iBT (Educational Testing Services, 2008), and then adding another comment or two to share your ideas on what we should and should not do in this class, both in class and out of class.
