Eagle Mum, Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. I appreciate hearing from someone who has more experience than I do. And I do think your experience is relevant, given the standardization of the curriculum.

I appreciate your mentioning the competing demands of turning in assignments and really learning the material. I had also wondered about the amount of learning versus amount of submitted work. I can imagine that a high volume of work would require that students are less invested in learning the material while they worked to stay afloat with all of the assignments.

Thank you again for your insight. It is very helpful.
