There are only so many hours in a week. Most of us have busy schedules, so its important to think about the way you current spend your time
and then plan how you could organize and plan your time for your online course. For this assignment, youll be asked to assess your current
schedule and the hourly amount of time spent on various activities. Youll then be asked to create a tentative weekly schedule where
you set aside time specifically for your online class.
