It is recommended you spend 2 hours outside of classes for each course contact hour per week. Each A&P class is four contact hours. Simple math says 4 contact hours times 2 = 8 hours of outside class time per week should be spent on this class.
How do you accomplish this?
- Create a study calendar. Use the free Google calendar that comes with your Kmail (or any other calendar will work).
- Schedule all activities going on in your life - work, school, family obligations, etc and stick to the schedule! Life happens - so you may have to make minor adjustments. Get back in the study habit as soon as possible. If you want to do well in the class, you must make time to study.
- Prioritize your due dates for projects, exams, etc. By entering dates on your calendar, you will be better prepared to tackle the task at hand.
