<p>Hi Econ majors,</p>
<p>How many hours of studying do you do per week in addition to class time?
Mainly classes like 100a 100b stats ( 20 or 21) and above. Any tips regarding time management? thanks</p>
<p>It all depends on the specific class and professor as well as how quickly you personally understand new concepts and models. I’d say the 100 series may be among the most intensive courses you take within the major (since they are the basis of the electives), and the electives vary mostly based on the professor and specific material of that class. Stats may be among the least time-intensive classes (though still difficult to do well in due to the curve). You’ll get a range of opinions on this, though, because of the differences in how each student studies and which professors people took the classes with.</p>
<p>^Would you say once the 100/101 series is over, things will get a tad ‘easier’? Seems like everyone is dreading for that series :/!</p>
<p>I didn’t think the 100 series was that much work… Problem sets were due about once every two weeks and it took maybe 3 hours to fully understand them and get them right. Besides that I only really studied the few days before the exams. The electives I took were similar. Econ 134 was the only econ class that I fully did the readings for so it was more work (although completely worth it).</p>
<p>Nominally, a 4 unit course should take 12 total hours per week, including both class time and out of class time. Your actual time may vary (and it is likely that most students study less on average). However, Economics 101A and 101B do not have the typical time-hog features (labs, computer programming assignments, term projects).</p>
<p>As an econ major, I think I did hw/studied for 1-2 hours every day.</p>
