How much time should I expect to devote to IH over the course of a semester?
A general rule might be twice as much time outside of class as in class, or in other words six hours a week outside of class—more when you’re writing a paper. It is not a good idea to take another Writing-Intensive course the same semester as you are taking IH. There are only so many hours in a day, so take a serious look at your schedule to see if you can strike a reasonable balance between the courses you have chosen to take and the other life-responsibilities you need to fulfill. Make sure you do the assigned readings when they are assigned. Letting things go until the last minute is the surest path to failure in this course.
