5. In a new class, do you get off to a quick start, or does your energy build in a gradual crescendo over the course of a semester?

This course has a completely different rhythm than most classes, which start out slow and reach an intense pace climaxing in the final exam.

This course is just the reverse, a decrescendo:

The first two weeks are the hardest and take the most time, as you figure out how everything works and what the course is all about.

The last week is the easiest, and there is no final exam.

Indeed, you may begin working on class assignments two weeks before the official start of the semester, and you may work up to two weeks ahead all semester long. Thus, with forethought and self-discipline, you can finish the course completely before you take your finals in other classes.
