Students: How much time do you spend studying?

I think suggesting that you set aside a scheduled study time for each class is a great idea, but I have to disagree on what people say on how you should study for the classes. I think I was told that for a 3 credit hour course, you should set aside 3 hours or more a week outside of the classroom to study. So, I tried that once but I found myself getting burned out. That was way too tough. So I finally figured out. I should study more of the classes that I know I'll need to study more for. I'll spend a bit of time studying for the easier classes, and the classes that are harder I'll spend more time on. Some classes you'll find you'll have to study hardly if none at all, and others you'll have to study your butt off for. Gauge the classes within the first week or so and then decide from there and adjust your study schedule as you need too. Remember that you can always study when your children are down for a nap or something, take the time to study when they aren't distracting you. That's the best time to get anything done, especially when it's school related.

That would depend on the subject, some subjects are easier to study and those I usually don't study more then a day, but for the more difficult subjects I can study one week or even two.

I'm the worse when it comes to finding time to study. I'm very fuzzy too. I want an environment that is free of noise, people, and other moving objects. And when I set my heart to it I can study the whole night. Between 10 pm to 1 am that's my best time for studying because everyone at home is already retired to bed and I can think clearly and concentrate on my studies.

I am not a student anymore. However, last time, I spend very little time studying. I hated studying and took exams by just trying to spot questions the day before.

i think the time that i spend studying depends on many aspects,for example homework,exam,practicals.if i have any of these i spend about 5 hours on studies. i split my study time in such a way that i dont feel bored.i usually take a nap after my classes and studey at midnight.iits much quieter and theres no one to disturb me.if i dont have any exams or any thing ,i spend about 3 hours on studies.

I heard that it's two hours of outside work for every hour of study. Well, that's what I was told. I'm taking 5 classes, that's 17 credit hours this semester. It's hard, especially with working a full time job, but I manage. I don't have kids, but I know someone that does and still takes classes. I don't know what you do for the hours your in class, but when you're with your kids, you should set up a schedule and stick to it. So while they're watching TV, take the time to try to get some school work done. Work around them, but make it managable for you. Don't stretch yourself too thin. That will just pull you down farther.
