<p>I was basing the 26 hours per week at MIT on this survey in The Tech. You are correct that 26 hours is the overall average, but Computer Science is Course 6, and students reported 27 hours in that major. </p>
<p>Here is the link. You have to go to the drop down box on the left that says “Work” and select the question about “How many hours of homework do you do per week?” The average is 26.2 hours and CSEE is 27 hours.</p>
