FarmingMomma Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If your student has used Holt Biology, approximately how many hours a week did they work on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wed1998 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 My student currently uses Holt in the context of WTMA's Biology class. It is therefore somewhat difficult to isolate just the use of the textbook vs. all work for the class. The Holt textbook is very good but very in-depth. I certainly think it's more complex than what I used for intro biology years ago. The time my student spends working for the class tends to vary some (it is more around the times labs, quizzes and tests are due) but is quite high, on the order of 10 hours or so a week. In the beginning of the course it could be even more. I hope that helps some! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's been a couple years, but at least an hour a day. We used the text, the section review quizzes,the review packet for each chapter & the tests. Did our own labs. Did not use any of the online student features- videos, etc. those would've added many hours on top of just the text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmingMomma Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thank you both for the feedback. I have looked through the book but it's hard to tell how long each day it will actually take my DD, and I don't know yet how much of the online stuff we will do. I'm trying to loosely plan a schedule for next year and it's stressing me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
