Students actually study that much these days?!

I don't see it!

Not being facetious or judgmental either. And there's strong pressure for calc profs these days to not assign more than 30 problems a week. Sensitivity about workload is very high at many institutions.

30 problems/week, 10/lecture would actually make calculus enjoyable, you could stretch out, and spend 20-30 minutes on some of the more challenging problems without freaking out.
