Students typically meet once per week in a 2.5-hour block, typically in the classroom. One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, thus five credits represents approximately 135 hours. Thus suggests that the bulk of the students' work will be completed outside class time.
By design, students are not provided with a syllabus for the course; the course proceeds with information only a week or two in advance. Among other skills, this perspective provides students an opportunity to practice tolerance for ambiguity, an essential intercultural skill in which people must operate in environments and contexts where not everything is apparent and proceeds as planned.

Each assignment (as well as portion of the points awarded for engaged participation and attendance) is allotted specific points (accompanying the assignment description in Moodle).

In this point system, students must earn 45 points to pass the course with a 1; students earning 85 points or more will be awarded a 5.
