Below is a set of timetables outlining the length of each lesson on both CD sets. We provide this information to help instructors ascertain the student-time commitment of each lesson. However, on average, students watch the lessons at two times the normal rate using the Variable Speed Playback (FN1) module. Therefore, an hour lecture in the CD lessons actually takes approximately 30 minutes in real time.

The time totals below are the raw unadjusted-rate times of each lesson. Please see the footnotes (FN) below for added information. You may also download a PDF document of this information by clicking here.

Footnotes:

(FN1) Students who watch CD Set 1 at two times the normal rate may not desire to listen to CD Set 2 at the same rate. CD Set 2 is more technical and some students slow the VSP module to approximately 1.7 times the normal rate.

(FN2) The Problem Introductions are tied to the main lecture video file and therefore are included in the Lesson Content column. The Problem Introductions are very small and are only 2-3 percent of the Lesson Content time.

(FN3) Not all students use the Hint feature. Therefore, use discretion when calculating the total time commitment for each lesson. Hints are approximately 10-20 percent of the walkthrough's time. In addition, those students who answer a problem correctly may not desire to watch the corresponding Walkthrough.

(FN4) CD Set 2 is more concise as it builds upon the foundational topics of CD Set 1. While CD Set 2 is shorter, it is still full of rich content and covers more difficult and complex topics than CD Set 1.
