The following site structure looks reasonable, but how well would it work for students?

Structure that puts weeks at lowest level

Teaching assistants reported that students were not finding the week's reading list. Testing showed that the initial design was oriented to the teacher's logical world view rather than the way students would use the site. Students were looking in the "Homework" topic for all work they were expected to do outside of class.

Structure that organizes by week

What would be another way to improve the original structure?
