The pace of five week courses at Stone Lab is pretty brisk. You have to keep on task just as you do in regular academic year courses at main campus. This means keeping up with your reading and homework assignments (yes, homework assignments). Fortunately, this is a really relaxed place to study. There are only about 30-40 people on the island at any given time so things aren't very crowded. Plus, you have some excellent places to sit and read. It isn't very hard to keep up on your reading when you can read by views like this, in a cool lake breeze, surrounded by the singing of families of birds and the occasional sigh of wake-waves tumbling against nearby rocks.
