Hi there! Thank you for taking questions. How many hours a day do you study on average? Do you have weekly tests?
No problem!
Everyone is different in terms of study time. When I first came here, I was expecting to treat it like a job and spend 8-9 hours a day either in class or studying...
To be honest, for me, it's more than that. Depending on the block, the number of hours I study during the week changes. Typically, I try to be at the library early...7:30 or so (classes never start until 9). So I'll study for 1.5 hours, go to class from 9-12, and then if we don't have afternoon classes, I stay in the lib until 4. Head home take a 2 hour break, then study until 10-11.
On days where we only have one class (like right now, we are in intersession two so our class load is light), it's a little different. More lib time during the day.
But to answer your question, I'd say on average during the week anywhere from 5-7 hours. On the weekends it's probably more like 7-9.
During exams, this number increases, but thats about right for me! Hope this is helpful.
About tests, no we do not have weekly tests. We are on the block schedule so for block one, we had 7 weeks of class and 3 exams during the 8th week. For block two, we had 4 weeks of class and 1 exam during the 5th week...another exam to come in two weeks to finish out block two.
