Help faculty and students estimate workload.
Faculty can use it to estimate the workload for their students as they design their courses, and how they might adjust their plans accordingly.
Students can use it to look at their workload in different courses and see what takes more of their time, etc.
Look at a syllabus and list of activities.
Go through the categories in this workload estimator and see if this is what you were aiming for, for the week or semester and decide if you need to make adjustments.
It could take 5 minutes or longer, depending how much you decide to adjust.
Groups of faculty can do this, or can do it with students to see if their version of workload estimation aligns with students.
