AI for Explaining College Schedules to Non-College-Going Parents

Your parents may compare your week to theirs at a 9-to-5 job. By that math, three classes plus 'free time' looks like slacking. But for every classroom hour, you're expected to study 2-3 hours outside. A 15-credit semester is closer to a 45-hour week.

What to make visible

• Class hours on a weekly grid
• Study/homework hours per class
• Lab and project blocks
• Office hours and tutoring
• Job hours (if working)
• Sleep and meals

Prompt

- 24 hours studying
- 8 hours office hours/tutoring
- 16 hours at my campus job
- 56 hours sleeping

Make a visual grid in plain text (Mon-Sun, hour by hour).
Label everything in [their language] AND English.
Add a one-paragraph note: 'this is a real workweek.'
