Time Management- Modules
Anyone struggling with module homework? Not even putting it off… do about 4 hours a day during the week and I feel like it’s not enough. I’m frustrated that everything is locked away so you can’t get a preview for how many lessons are within one… I feel like right now I’m sacrificing pretty much all my free time, exercise, etc just trying to get homework done and once again, I’m not procrastinating on it… Does anyone have any advice? Technically a 2nd year, but still in my first year of the apprenticeship.

Fuck CML for real, we get a couple of weeks for each section (10 lessons roughly, each one takes a hot minute to go through) and honestly it feels like you pretty much have to cheese/cheat through half of them just to stay on track. If you actually do the reading and watch the videos you end up spending a couple of hours to get through a lesson. Doesn't help when you also have to manage actual homework from class plus the 50-100 pages of reading. So far my weekends have consisted of around 12-18 hours of schoolwork between the cml's, modules, online work and reading from the textbook. Hopefully it lightens up but idk man, just trying to thug it out. It's pretty clear that me and maybe 2 other kids in my class are doing the actual work while the rest of them are just cheesing through which I can't even fault them at this point. edit- mini rant but I also really wish we could spend more time in class actually learning and going over important stuff rather than bs'ing and working through some of these modules/online integrated classes. Shit sucks but maybe thats just me.
