Study time! (1 Viewer)

[babikakez]

The amount of work I do generally depends on what day it is. For example:

Monday: 1-2 hours
Tuesday: 3 hours
Wednesday: no more than 1 hour
Thursday: No more than 45 minutes (pretty sad, but I work Thursday nights)
Friday: 1 hour
Saturday: 1-1.5 hours (I work all day on a Saturday. Damn Woolworths)
Sunday: 2-3 hours (Catching up on everything that wasn't done on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.)

So, we can see, my part-time job is seriously cutting into my study time. Maybe its time to cut back???

Maybe, but if you could balance everything, and you're doing fine in school, there's no need to change anything. But if it is, you could ask to change shifts, or as a last resort, quit your job.

On average, how many hours do you spend doing homework and revision each night?

hours?! more like only 15 minutes

I can't see myself studying for more than 15 minutes per day. sorry I'm not asian enough :wave:

tips?

Better than me. I can't find the time to study. Once I do my HW, I watch TV, then go to sleep. I'm still going to use cramming

Yeah... I think bloodyfriday means doing homework as well as studying. Though I'd say that studying subsumes doing homework. I mean, I'm not going to spend two hours doing my homework for the night, then spend another two hours doing revision to meet my two-hour study quota. That'd be four hours of study.

I'm in the same boat. Couldn't do more than 30 minutes of continuous study to save my life. I'm not asian enough and I AM asian.

But after you get proficient at it, it's a total breeze. Like when you start learning the results off by heart subconsciously, you realise it's pretty easy. It gets better than other homework after a while.

The main thing with maths is actually starting. That's a total bitch because everything is so slow and difficult, it saps your will to continue.

qft. stupid stupid quadratic functions >_>

I'm sure I'll be fine, I seem to be managing everything fine at the moment, it was just a little scary realising how much time work takes up. My dept manager is pretty good, everyone in Year 11 and 12 gets so much consideration with their rosters, as soon as we wanna cut back its ok. They're hiring new staff so hopefully that'll share the workload around.
But as I said, I'm doing just fine, except for my Literature essay today but thats a WHOLE other story.

Thats what this site is for

 

[~aussiegirl!~]

life has become so much easier since i joined this site, i printed off the notes on here for some of my subjects and i use them to study!

I do about 2 hours of homework, that was yesterday and that was legal and maths revision for a test i had today! I got on the net to research a bit further into detail for the legal questions i had!

I generally study on the weekends because i get bored after i have no other homework! So weekends are catching up on study time which is about 2hrs! And that can be about one subject. I try and highlight and summarise points from notes off this website! I will have to start my huge business studies (Business Plan) assignment which is huge like a booklet and then the actual business plan that is due all through the year till the last one due at the end of august! I wont be bored on the weekends anymore!

I try and do like 2 hours of maths every night, but I don't fill my quota.

Physics/Chem/Bio are all zzz... Haven't done any work for them at all so far, usually get homework done in frees.

printing off the notes from here has exposed you to the bos forum hence much procrastination no?

So, does anybody actually understand the concept of "studying off of the syllabus"? Because I don't, haha.

Would anybody care to explain? I don't see how "students learn to: appreciate english in a variety of forms" can be used to study.

 

[Kujah]

Most people don't use the syllabus for English

Syllabus study is pretty useful for PE, sciences and languages...possibly more but I'm not in a position to judge as I haven't done them. Maths its pretty much useless unless you want to check off topic list or something...which your teacher should have covered anyway. English, don't really look at the syllabus unless youre looking at the elective statement...

syllabus tells you exactly what you need to know...all the skills you will need, all the knowledge you should have by the end of it....they cant' teach you anything thats outside teh sullabus (or should i say it wont get assessed)

"students learn to: appreciate english in a variety of forms" can be used to study.

^^all that means is through your study not only will you learn your topic by reading like stories and poems and stuff, but you will listen to songs, watch movies etc
