You will need to reschedule your time. If you really like the flower design you have to make time for it,just like you make time for eating and sleeping.Give priority to your studies.Only you can do it.

I work full-time and was enrolled in two online graduate courses.  It was a condensed semester--eight weeks long.  It was doable, but it was not easy.  You have to really manage your time online.\n\nPart of the problem is that if you have never taken an online course before, you will spend a lot of time learning the program used by the school, and reading all the posts by the other students.  Not everyone does well in an online environment.

I wish there was a straight forward answer to this question.\n\nBecker has several different methods of "delivery" including live classes, web classes, and CD-ROM movies, as well as the books used solo.\n\nOf these methods, I believe that the CD-ROM method is the quickest, as you can take classes at your own speed.  Each section is sub-divided into lectures which vary in length, but run approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on the breaks and how long the test questions will take you.  I believe there are approximately 7 lectures (you can get the data from Becker's web-site) so you can assume approximately 70-80 hours of instructional time with about the same amount of study.  As you can see, that is about one-months full-time work.\n\nIf you choose the live instruction, the time to complete would be based upon your local class schedule; this schedule is influenced by holidays and generally consists of weekly or bi-weekly seminars.\n\nI would recommend a staggered approach, starting with the areas you believe will be most difficult and then trying to pick the low-hanging fruit once you have the credits for the more difficult sections.\n\nGood luck with your preparation.

Get started!  It's the best way to get done.  I agree with doing the easy stuff first - you get some of it out of the way and you get a good feeling of accomplishment / progress so that you don't burn out too fast.\n\nWork smart, not hard - use your resources (I don't mean cheating!  That will only mess you up at test time.  I mean valid resources) and "create" more as you can.  For instance, \n\n- for tests, I used to make flash cards of the major material.  You can bring them with you most places to study in the car, while you're waiting for other things, etc.  Writing out the flash cards may help you remember things, they're easy to transport and they focus your studying to the relevant facts each time rather than the whole of the material.\n\n- for written homework, this will often just take time, but you can still bring some of your smaller books with you to be able to work during other free periods (waiting at a dr's office, waiting for your other classes to start, etc.)  \n\nUse your time wisely - it's easy to waste time or to get very caught up in the amount you have to do so that you are paralyzed into inaction.  Be careful of this.  Consider a tutor if you're having difficulty with certain subjects - in the long run, your improved understanding will save you a lot of time.  You can also consider a time management or stress management class if your school offers one.\n\nIf you truly have too much, talk to your parents about cutting out some of the other activities or classes.  You do not have to work 24/7 and should have time to do things you enjoy as well, so make sure your workload, though probably challenging, is realistic.

check with your local college and see if they have any distance ed programs or if you can take a class or two early and commute.

There would certainly be some type of financial assistance for you, mainly to help pay for the classes. It sounds as though some type of through-the-mail or online degree would be best for you, so you can do your work whenever you have time.\n\nGood luck!

the easy answer is, plan ahead and don't leave all your studying to the last minute :-)\n\nIf you don't have other classes to work around, here is what I would suggest:\n\nT=9:00      Wake up, get ready for the day\nT=9:30    Grab breakfast to eat while you study\nT=9:45    Study for an hour\nT=10:45   Get up, stretch, use the bathroom\nT=11:00   Study for another hour\nT=12:00   Check email, go chat with friends, and otherwise take a break.  Get some lunch.\nT=12:30   Go to a different place to study.  Try the library, or a commons room.\nT=12:45   Study a new subject for two hours (if you have more than one to work on).\nT=2:45   Get up and find somewhere new to study you haven't been to yet today.  Grab a snack on the way.\nT=3:00   Study another two hours\nT=5:00   Break!  Spend an hour or two with friends, playing a game, or basically de-stressing\nT=6:00   Eat dinner, start gearing up to study again\nT=6:45   Make your way back to somewhere comfortable to study\nT=7:00  Settle in and study as long as you can stand\nT=10:00ish Get up, check email, move around, head back to your room if you're not there already\nT=10:30ish Bring your most boring study material to bed with you.  Read it until you fall asleep.  You'll either get lots read (good) or get plenty of sleep (also good) :-)\n\nThis assumes you have a full day, but this gives you a good 11+ hours of studying, and still time to eat, talk with your friends, and generally not go crazy.  It also gives you at least 9 hours of sleep at night, which will really help!\n\nStudying in multiple places throughout the day helps keep you from getting bored (and sleepy) while you work.  Also, if always study the same subjects in the same rooms, it really helps your brain absorb the information faster (strange, but true!).  If your test involves remembering a bunch of facts (like who painted each of these pictures, when, what techniques did they use, etc), study each thing (painting, in this case) in a different room.  Then when you get to the test you can see a painting and remember "Oh, I read that one while sitting in the stairwell.  That means it was painted in X year by so-and-so."  It helps you keep the information from getting all mixed up in your head!

Spread your time wisely....give each test, maybe about 1 hour, that way you can get it all done. Do the most important tests first, so that way, the last tests, you don't have to study as much because you already have the info down...

Neha, it can be done, if u, yourself decide to do so. Never have any targets like u will study for 4 hours or 5 hours. It is better to have targets of lessons and chapters that you will do in one evening. And then do that. Do not think about anything else at that time. And apart from study hours, play, read books or watch TV. Smile always. Do not argue with people. dont be bitter about things in life that u dont like. Be happy. And you will concentrate

Don't wait until the last minute to study. Also, if you are studying for hours at a time, you're not gonna retain much. Ever wonder why college classes only last about 50 minutes? Because that's all the info you will retain at one time. Try to study for 45-50 minutes at a time,take a break, then return to studying. It worked for me!!!! :)

I work at a University - below is a link to la list of study skill guides we produce. You should talk to your student services department at your college - they should have tips from previous students and guides for life/study balance.\n\nDo as much work in your College library as you can - there are no distractions there. Even an extra hour a couple of times a week would be good. Study during your lunch break. Design easy study flows that can be picked up and put down to learn the basics - keep these next to the toilet, the bath, bed, in the kitchen, and swot up whenether you can.\n\nTalk to your tutors if you have any difficulty at all. they are the profesionals, they should be able to help, they do not want you to fail, they want you to do as well as you can.\n\nGood luck! You can do it! Mature students make better students than kids - they have decided themselves to learn, rather than being forced to.
