I logged on last night hoping for the sneak peeks of the kit, only to be sadly disappointed when I remembered it was Wednesday! Well, I guess the designers and CT wouldn't have been happy if they had to rush their work. LOL.
Jennifer, I'd suggest for your flexible course that you treat it like any other regular course. If it were a regular course, how often would you meet for class lectures and how many times a week. Decide that, and then on your calendar diary, write in a regular time on the days you think it would meet each week for study. Then figure out how many hours would be expected of homework anyway and decide when you would be most likely to do those homework hours and put those on your calendar too. Write this all on your calendar and then commit to studying during the "lecture times" and during the "homework times." Even though it says it is flexible, this is what worked best when I took courses that met once a week or for my DH who has had to take an occasional online course. Don't get fooled into letting it be flexible for you. Figure that it is flexible for the university to offer it like this so that more students who couldn't fit it into their work or family schedules could take it.
