I take issue with the assertion that the time that a module requires is a good assessment of its difficulty.

- Gpetrium 8y agoI wouldn't be surprised if it is considered one of the variables. Most people lose their attention as the minutes go by, so if we add it as a multiplier to other direct variables, it can help better define difficulty.
- chongli 8y agoYeah, seriously. My friend is taking a beginner-type CS course (how to use various software, basic Excel stuff, macros, databases). The assignments are extremely time-consuming but laughably easy. On the other hand, some of our math courses have assignments that are very short but extremely difficult. A person who is an expert in the material could probably do the assignment in about 20-30 minutes but for beginners it takes hours to figure out some of these proofs.
