Typical Breakdown

45 min to 1 hr - Review notes and understand steps
30 min to 1 hr - Work examples over and over
30 min to 1 hr - Do your homework
Don't just dive into your homework to get it done. Review, practice, learn, practice, solve.
Studying for these subjects is time consuming (often frustrating!) but without this level of commitment you will not gain the understanding and problem solving skills needed for your exams. Put the time in from the beginning to be rewarded at the end.

Strategies on Using Time by Joe Landsberger

Poll:

Develop blocks of study time
About 50 minutes? How long does it take for you to become restless?
Some learners need more frequent breaks for a variety of reasons.
More difficult material requires more time and may also require more frequent breaks.
Plan your day so you perform your hardest tasks at your best time.
Schedule weekly reviews and updates.
Prioritize assignments.
When studying, get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject.
Find alternative study places free from distractions to maximize concentration.
Review studies and examples just before class.
Review lecture material and examples immediately after class.
Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours.
For mathematically based subjects, most info is lost within the first 20 to 60 minutes after learning.
Schedule time for critical course events.
Labs, Midterms, Final Exams
