<p>How much time do you spend studying material outside of class on regular weekdays? Just curious. I want an idea of how much free time people usually have every day.</p>
<p>I think it totally depends on your schedule</p>
<p>I agree. Generally the accepted practice is 2 to 3 hours of study for every hour in class, but that will vary based on the student's strengths, weaknesses, employment, travel time (to and from school if any), family, etc.</p>
<p>in addition. it also varies on how much you are WILLING to study and actually doing it. On average I study maybe like 1-2 hours a day for actual textbook-needed classes..but I'm not taking hard science courses, where it is critical to study to pass. I'm a DES major (made up of studio classes =4 hours a day, twice a week) and TXC minor...but on some nights I don't sleep when there is a project or a test the next day. </p>
<p>I was always good in high school about always doing my homework, studying, going to class (and on-time)..but once I hit college...I was so distracted and I had so much freedom that I didn't study as much as I should have. It was hard for me to accept that I was going to get a final grade as a C in these classes. But after a while, I realized that it took some MAJOR time getting used to the quarter system since it goes by so incredibly fast. And as I got used to the quarter system, my grades improved too.</p>
