  Were you the sort of person who responsibly worked a little bit on the assignments over the course of the week/two weeks, or did you carve out an evening to try to get the whole thing done in one or two sittings? My group did the latter. I think based on what we know now about interruptions, we were likely getting more done per minute than the responsible kids. Including reading, we might have been doing 15 hours a week sustained, across 2-3 core classes. But these were the sort of people who got their homework done so they could go back to the ACM office to work on their computer game, or work out how to squeeze a program we all wanted to use into our meager disk space quota. Anything more than a B was chasing academia over practical knowledge. B- to C+ was optimal.
