how many hours should i study for each college course?

General rule of thumb is 3 hours for every 1 hour you spend in class, so if you spend 3 hours on a subject in class, you would spend 9 hours studying.  \n\nHowever, some classes require more, some require little to no work outside of class.

We do 90 minutes slots but change pace/activity every 20 mins to keep concentration at a maximum. This is for older teens/adults, for children, shorter!\nIf you take an intensive full time course, in an English speaking country, after 2 or 3 months you should be able to cope quite well in most everyday situations ( REALLY depends on the student of course) xx

Firstly, calculate how many hours of free time you have to study. Then compile a list of the subjects you are studying and rank them in order of which ones you need to spend the most time studying (ie the harder subjects, your weakest subjects).\nOnce you have done that you can assign each subject some time depending on where they rank on your list!\nthis way you can study everything and you ensure that the more difficult subjects are given priority!!

The golden rule for study is read, review, recall. This you must begin to do from the moment the topics and theories are introduced. Go beyond class notes and buttress these with research clarifying the arguments that surround the topic. It is better to have a thorough understanding and mastery of the subject than cramming to pass a one time exam. You MUST rest i.e. sleep well. Rest your body, mind and spirit. Let go of every anxiety. Take some warm drink (hot cocoa) before going to bed. Get into discussions with your classmates. Develop personal styles of recall. Use associations.Usually you are required to study for 3 hours for every credit unit per week. So do not wait till the exam is so close. In fact that way you can not fail any surprise test. Nothing can replace hard work. The more you study the more you increase your attention span. Sit down, do not answer the phone, do not go to the fridge, concentrate. Choose a spot where you will not be disturbed and if it works for you play your favorite music as background. Good luck.

It's not how many hours u have to study to learn a subject from scratch....\n\nStudy with concentration. Try and understand the meaning of the subject concepts. If u don't understand read again no matter how many times...once,twice,thrice.... read it and understand.As u proceed to the next topics in ur subject, u'll get a hold of it automatically.

Sure, it just depends on how organized you are.  I don't reccommend taking 4 at once though, I would take them one at a time.  That way, if life does throw something at you and you can't finish the course, you're only doing that with one course, and not 4.

Concentration Techniques\n\n1. Jot down things that are on your mind before you study, then set this list to the side. Add to it anything that distracts you as you are studying. Take care of the list later.\n\n2. Study at the same time each day. A regular schedule can help you frame this as “study time”.\n\n3. Set a timer for an hour, don't allow yourself to stop studying until it goes off.\n\n4. Take breaks. A three minute break for every 30 minutes of study is a good guideline. Take a longer break after 90 minutes.\n\n5. Set goals for your session that are realistic (number of problems to solve, pages to read, etc.) When you have met one of your study goals, reward yourself with a short break. Then, return to your study area.\n\n6. Study in an area away from distractions such as a library, study lounge, or an empty classroom.\n\n7. Make sure you have everything that you need before you begin.\n\n8. Make sure your environment is conducive to studying, no TV, no telephone, no roommate, no boyfriend/girlfriend.\n\n9. Make studying an active process; take notes and make review sheets. Intersperse different kinds of study into one session, e.g. reading, writing, taking notes, memorizing, etc.\n\n10. Identify how what you are studying is relevant to your life. Draw connections between things you already know.\n\n11. Insure that you are sleeping enough, eating well, and getting regular exercise. Your mind will be more alert, and you will be less likely to fall asleep or daydream.\n\nGOOD LUCK !!!

1 course is considered a credit.  Some courses are worth as much as 3 credit hours.  If a class requires lab time, it might be worth 4 credit hours.  Hope this helps.  You should also talk to someone at the university you are going to attend

Usually a regular college class has 3 credits, or credit hours. Some courses vary and have 1, labs, or up to 6 credits.

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...

Get up and stretch.  Try studying in different places.  And truly, if you don't already have a good idea about the material, cramming it in now isn't going to help a whole lot.  30 minutes is great studying time.  When you study for too long of periods, the information tends to become mixed and confused.  Study for 30 minutes, then go for a walk or take a snack break, call a friend.  After a 15 or 20 minute break, you can try to study for another 30 - 45 minutes.

This is very difficult to gage because it depends on personal preferences, lifestyle, academic abilities, and the difficulty of each class.  The freshman year can be frustrating because this is the time you learn what you can handle or want.  The recommendation I usually make is for students to over-schedule and then map out how much they need to do for the rest of the semester in the first week and then drop anything that seems too much to have a more reasonable schedule.\n\nWe advisors will argue over whether you should take any math because we come from different personal perspectives on the matter.  I say get it done ASAP, while others will say it's ok to avoid in your first year.  The first year is the cruicible though and I think getting it over with shows you can handle college.\n\nRanges:  If you work too much, 12 hours will seem like a grindstone.  I have had students that consistently had 20-21 hours each semester and graduated early.  They were usually 4.0 students that did not work because they had scholarships paying for everything and parents that could and would afford anything that the scholarships didn't cover...

There are two kinds of college credit - semester credits and quarter credits, depending whether the college is on the semester system (2 semesters per school year) or the quarter system (3 quarters per school year).\n\nMost colleges are on the semester system. One credit hour is granted for attending a one-hour class once a week for approximately 50 minutes. A one-hour credit for lab would represent approximately 2.5 hours in lab per week.\n\nThus, a three-hour credit is granted for successfully completing a course that meets for three periods per week - approximately 2.5 total hours.

I'm a double major of Secondary Math Education major and Spanish.  I'm a sophomore...I took 18 hours this semester; 2 Spanish, one math (proofs), foundations of education, and then 2 gen ed classes.  But next semester I'll have 2 math classes, 2 spanish classes, an ed class, and french.  \nGood luck on your 27 hours...I didn't know any schools let you take that many.  I know 18 is a full load, but they'll let you take 21 if you ask....but 27, man that soounds rough.

It all depends on your familiarity with the subject you are testing on.  I would recommend at least a week, studying 2 hours a day if you want to pretty much guarantee your success.

Make a table of the days of the week.  Each day then has to be broken down in a few hours at a time i.e. \n11pm - 7am sleep.\n7am - 8pm breakfast & getting ready fo work/college/school\n9am - 1pm work/school/college\n1pm - 2pm lunch\n2pm - 5pm work/college/school\n\nand then the hours after that need to be broken down in study time, tv time, bath/shower etc.\n\nThe idea of it is to find time to study around the other essentail hours and every day tasks.\n\nI hope this makes sense.\n\nGood luck

Choose something that you like and are willing to work hard at.  Come prepared to spend some late nights studying, the library is open 24 hours and there is always someone there.  It is hard work but if you can manage your time you will have a great 4 (or 5 or 6) years:)  It is not all bad though, just don't come thinking it will be a walk in the park, especially as a ME major.
