Time and tactics to complete an AU course in one month. A student asks about the time commitment and strategies to complete a course within a 4 to 6-week period. Other students replied that COMP210 and CMIS245 were completed in less than a week. A student does two to twenty hours of study to finish three classes every four months. This student recommends supplementary resources if the textbook doesn’t jive with the learner. The student recommends reviewing the syllabus, assignments, and exam specs while budgeting time for Proctored exams, which should be booked ASAP. Another student recommends typing notes rather than writing them down, completing many practice questions, and contacting tutors for clarity.
