Homework hours per course

[heron]

How many hours per week do you spend on homework for each course?

Obviously, it will vary from subject to subject. But talk about a rough estimate of what you spend per week outside of class.

You might also want to include whether you are on semesters or trimesters/quarters, and if some of the classes in your average are labs and 1-credit deals.

(Don't write out your schedule online -- that is a stalker magnet)

For the classes going toward my major that I really enjoy I can spend anywhere between 10 and 30 hours a week per 3 credit hours. For my other classes that I may or may not enjoy I'll spend anywhere from 2 to 5 hours per 3 credit hours ; and I'm on a semester basis taking 5 classes.

Yay! One respondent. Thanks for taking the time (out of class work, lol).

Yeah, no problem I actually just finished my semester today.

I'm an art student, it's project after project. That stuff takes time.

0-2 for each 3 hr course (closer to 0). I'm a marketing major, and we operate on semesters. I have a lot of "death by powerpoint" classes that don't involve much work.

Congratulations!

...And some undefined finishing points!

Ha ha. Lecture courses seem to be more about what was memorized, and ability to apply / reason through future problems.

Thanks everyone! I know I asked for trouble, creating a dull topic. Feel free to keep talking about the topic.

8-10. At least. My life IS studies. Which is OK, my wife is a med student so hers is as well.

I study nanotech. So my life consists of heavy duty math, chemistry and quantum physics. Throw in a little programming and you're there. It takes a lot of time. But it's a lot of fun!

For me it is 8-10hrs per class. I'm a senior nursing student in very rigorous program! In other words I have no life!!!

It depends on the class, typically I can finish the "homework" in less than an hour, but we also get projects that require about 6 or more hours to complete (throughout the week).

I am in semesters.
