TL;DR doesn’t apply on the course schedule page. Actively read every word of the homework instructions, paying particular attention to the action words (often highlighted in bold).
Preview the homework at the end of class (or immediately after) to see how long it’s going to take you to complete it, how challenging you think it might be, and to get any questions you might have answered. Then, make an entry into your weekly calendar committing yourself to a time to complete your homework.
Do the homework in the order listed.
Set a timer for the designated “time-on-task” and give your complete highly-focused single-tasking attention to your work for the full amount of time, even if you feel like you’ve finished early. Use the remaining time to go back and look for ways to improve what you’ve written or better understand or apply what you’ve read.
