<p>It really does depend on the class. I had English Comp II this semester…and aside from the actual time spent writing the two papers we had over the semester…I didn’t spend any time studying. We were given a reading assignment every class period out of the text book…but after the second week of the semester, I quit doing any of the reading. It was really just busy work, and wasn’t that relevant to anything that we were doing.</p>
<p>My Social Problems class this semester had a lot of assigned reading material too…but this reading material was crucial, because our tests were virtually all essay questions. We had a lot of supplemental reading material in the form of articles/essays online…and many of the essay questions were pulled directly from these articles. We never really knew which topics were going to be covered most on the tests, so it was crucial to read all of the material.</p>
<p>My chemistry class required a decent amount of study…but it was really only like 2-3 hours a week…an extra few hours when a test was coming up. </p>
<p>My math class is the only class I really spent a lot of time studying over this semester, but that was mainly because I ran a study group with some of my classmates. My version of “studying” was really just helping other people.</p>
