<p>How long would a Computer Science major student need to study a day? Also what if a student were to double major in CS and Biomedical engineering? Is 4 hours a day and under of studying time enough to get A's in both Majors?</p>
<p>
That depends on the student and the program(s). For me at my undergrad program, yes. For Me at other undergrad programs, possibly not. For some others at any program, definitely. For most others at most programs, probably pushing your luck.</p>
<p>It really depends on the person, but for the average person I think that would be unrealistic. I know people in just computer science who study that much and don’t get all A’s</p>
<p>2 non-dimensional time units.</p>
<p>Really though, these questions are silly. It will depend on your study habits, your classes, your professors, your intellect, etc. Setting X amount of hours to study is not wise… study until you feel the material is mastered.</p>
<p>Speaking as a Double in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, I would say that 5+ hours/day of homework/studying will almost guarantee you A’s in all of your classes (who has time for that, though?). But as posted above, it truly depends on the material at hand and there is no set time. What you must acknowledge is that taking up 2+ majors (and engineering majors at that) requires immense effort and drive. If you put quality effort into your studying, you can get a lot of work done in little time, and learn a lot. You have to be able to judge the importance of assignments/exams and study accordingly. </p>
<p>My final thought: there is no golden number of study hours you need to put in, but to get all A’s and to be successful (especially as an engineer), you need to put in a significant amount of effort, whether that be by studying a few more hours daily, attending additional lectures, etc.</p>
<p>Oh, and don’t be a bookworm. Mixing up your daily activities can ease your mind/stress and will help you focus and complete the tasks at hand.</p>
