<p>Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how long they spend studying a week? I have heard that it is so time consuming you have no time for yourself as well as it is not that bad. Maybe list your major and hours you spend a week studying. Thanks</p>
<p>Search this board and you will find the answer.</p>
<p>EE, CS, physics, math and economics quintuple major. Spend roughly 80 hours/ week studying</p>
<p>I am currently a psychology major. I do not know exactly how much time I spend studying, but I have a part time job that I work about 20 hours a week and I also have an internship that ranges from 10 hours a week to 30 hours a week. I would say I probably spend about 20-30 hours a week studying. I still have time to go out on the weekends (when I’m not working) and do social things on occasion.</p>
<p>However, I used to be a Biotechnology major and then I switched to a Molecular and Microbiology major. I studied pretty much non stop. I would say I needed to spend about 20 hours outside of class (probably about 15 in some classes) studying each class so 20*4= 80 hours a week. Which was almost impossible for me to do since I worked. Chemistry never came easy to me so I was always spending lots of time on my chem classes. Psychology is now a joke for me compared to that degree program.</p>
<p>depends on the subject and how you are at it.</p>
<p>I have 3 courses right now. College writing 2, COllege algebra and Visual Basic 2.</p>
<p>I spend probably 2 hours a week on visual basic, because i love programming.
I spend probably 6 hours a week on College writing, well because nothing to learn in the course, but write!
College algebra i spend probably 40 hours a week on it and i am still barely passing</p>
<p>I don’t really study unless I have tests coming up, I just do homework if I have it and read if I feel like it. I’ll spend maybe 10 hours a week on average I guess. I study hardcore a few days before most tests though…then it’s more like 30-40 hours per week if I have multiple tests. I understand that’s not the best approach, but it works for me.</p>
<p>Good question.</p>
<p>I think studying is good and studying more is better. However, you need to keep an eye on your productivity. If your “studying” is actually skimming a textbook for five minutes then sitting on Facebook for an hour…don’t bother.</p>
<p>Edit:
For me, I used to actually study very little but I’ve been stepping things up significantly lately. Probably up to ~25 hours outside of class now, looking to go higher.</p>
<p>No idea. Definitely not enough. But I have very little free time.</p>
<p>I’m a French/Theatre double major.</p>
<p>I have class from 9-11 on Mondays, work from 12:30-2:30, and class from 2:30-3:45.
I have class from 9-12:15 on Tuesdays, work from 12:30-4:00, and class from 4:30-6:00.
On Wednesdays, I finally get a break from 11-2:30 where I don’t have work or class.
On Thursdays, my schedule is like Tuesday.
On Fridays, I have one class and then work until 5:00.</p>
<p>On top of that, I also have two Clubs in the evenings. And I’m soon about to start working on a Scottish play.</p>
<p>I probably spend about 10 hours a week on homework/studying, but even with that small amount, I rarely have time to just relax.</p>
<p>15 hours attending class, 15 hours doing homework, 10 hours studying. That’s how it usually breaks down for me.</p>
<p>I’m a History major, finishing up my gen eds. I spend ~10 or so hours a week studying, depending on what I have going on. If I weren’t determined to make another 4.0 this semester, I wouldn’t work as hard though. It kind of depends on what your goals are.</p>
<p>I am a Computer Science major and Japanese minor. Taking 20 credits.</p>
<p>I spend about 15 hours doing HW a week. (usually on Saturday and Sunday it’s like 3-6 hours each, or at least 9 hours total on weekends).
And for studying I think maybe 4-6 hours…? That’s only around 6 hours if I have a test… usually the studying somehow gets done through doing HW. I consider textbook readings and learning new vocabulary as HW as it’s assigned.</p>
<p>Somehow I have a 3.63 GPA (probably even higher this semester) so I guess it’s okay ^^
You guys seem to study/do HW a lot more than me, hmm…</p>
<p>As much as I need to. Depending on the week, usually between 10-20 hours. Sometimes I may go under 10 hours just because the material being covered is so ridiculously easy that I only need to look at it once. Again, it depends. I currently have a 3.73 it’s probably going to be a 3.75 or 3.88 by the time this semester is over because of my habits.</p>
<p>Per week, I study about three hours, do about fifteen to twenty hours of homework, read a book or two, and write between two and three thousand words in a story I’m working on. Spend about twenty hours on other things, and have about the same amount of time to hang out with people and do fun things.</p>
<p>…Not nearly enough. I usually go all out when a test is coming up, but my study time is lumped around due dates for assignments or exams. If I’m in between things, maybe an hour or two a day if I don’t have any reading to do. But that’s not counting the time I spend doing homework.</p>
<p>I’m a bio major so when I study for biology or organic chemistry, I typically just read over the notes (especially since my ochem professor is anti-chemistry books and doesn’t follow one. God, he’s a pain) a ton. I tend to not read my bio book because the level of detail and random tidbits of information distorts the knowledge essential to kicking butt on the exam.</p>
<p>I’m the opposite of most people I feel like… I think I study more than I need to. I’m a psychology major and probably spend 5-6 hours per night and maybe 2-3 hours each day on the weekend. Usually consisting of going over lecture slides/reading/rewriting notes/group study/attending office hours/doing assignments.</p>
