SUMMARY

A student enrolled in 13 units at a two-year college should allocate approximately 28 hours per week for studying, adhering to the conventional guideline of two hours of study for every hour in class. This approach is particularly relevant for math and science courses, where comprehension is critical. Individual learning speeds vary, necessitating that students assess their understanding by solving textbook problems independently to ensure mastery of the material.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of study time allocation principles
  • Familiarity with math and science coursework expectations
  • Knowledge of effective study techniques
  • Ability to self-assess comprehension and mastery of subjects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective study techniques for math and science courses
  • Explore time management strategies for balancing coursework
  • Learn about self-assessment methods for academic performance
  • Investigate resources for enhancing problem-solving skills in relevant subjects
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students at two-year colleges, academic advisors, and educators focusing on study strategies and time management for math and science courses.

If a student spends roughly 28 hours per week studying, and has 13 units , would you say that this is enough study time for the average person?
With classes that are math, science related.

This pertains to a student at a 2 year college? Do you believe it would it be different for a university level student?

The conventional wisdom is that you should study about two hours for every hour you spend in class, so by that definition it is enough studying. However, everybody learns differently, and so it might take you twice as long to learn something as someone else (or half as long).

Study until you feel that you have a solid grasp of the material and can demonstrate it by being able to do problems from the relevant sections in the textbook without having to consult your notes.
