I don't think that the students have to log in at a particular time or for a particular length of time, though. They just have to complete the assigned work. However, some assignments may involve meeting a partner in the online interface for conversations. These courses have always been so big (so many sections) that it was not possible to accommodate them for a weekly lab hour--or rather, it would have involved having multiple schedules for the various sections (lab day for sections a,b,c,d,e on Monday, for f,g,h,I,j on Tuesday, and for k,l on Wednesday).

Please respond to me directly at [log in to unmask] Tina: (Though you requested a direct message, I assume others may have your same question, so I'm replying publicly.) Hard on the heels of TBob's generous(^_^) message, I write to say that Yale has no out-of-class worktime requirement. Certain languages require a weekly hour or more of one-on-one tutoring, but that is in the flesh.
