<p>How much homework and studying do you usually do in a day outside of class?</p>
<p>At McGill rendezvous, they estimated 15 hours in classtime and 30 hours studying per week. I know Chinese classes meet every day so your class time might be increased with that taken into account.</p>
<p>I think they said 5 courses meet twice a week for 1.5 hours generally speaking.</p>
<p>I think it depends on what kind of student you are… I usually do it before exams, it works better for me… and you also have to consider what classes are you taking… last semester I spent around 2 weeks… 3-6 hours a day studying for my physics final… but for microecon… I just studied like 3-4 hours…
about the homework… I spent like 6 to 8 hours a week doing it but I just had homework for two classes (calc and phys)… so it really depends on your schedule and course selection…</p>
<p>how much studying do you have to do to get a good grade in classes (A- or higher)
for not particularily difficult major classes, like Political Sciences, or different regional or ethnic studies. I know that some classes(liek sciences) are much more demanding.
I would especially like to know how much time ourside of class one would typically put into studying a foreign language to get a good grade in the class (i want to major in east asian studies)</p>
<p>Well… I can’t really tell you because I just have taken science courses… I’m in engineering… the easiest class i took last year was Microeconomics… and I easily got an A without studying a lot… less than 4 hours a week… but I didn’t have any homework… just 2 midterms and the final…</p>
<p>I guess that for classes like poli sci… or history… you’ll have some homework to do and write essays and read a lot… so I’m guessing 10 to 15 hrs a week…</p>
<p>Hope it helps…</p>
<p>wait…studying 10-15 hrs each week for each class, or 10-15 hrs a week for all my classes combined (which would be like 50 hrs/ 7 hrs a day)
And, with as much as you study do you maintain a solid GPA?</p>
<p>How much do you study/do homework each week in total with a full schedule?</p>
<p>I studied about 10 hrs a week last semester and taking 5 classes (chem, phys, calc, eng econ, microecon)… and I got a good GPA…</p>
<p>I had 2 assignments each week… one for phys and one for calc… that took me about 4-5 hours to do… also had to do lab reports for each phys and chem… which took me about 2-4 hours to do…</p>
<p>do the math…</p>
<p>sounds like a pretty doable schedule. Thanks.</p>
