How Much Time Do You Spend on Homework?

Saturday May 30, 2009

The amount of time spent on homework may be directly related to your grades--but it might not. True, some students don't spend enough time on the books and their grades reflect that. But it's also a fact that some students over-study, especially when studying for finals, and spend hour upon hour studying. That can lead to burnout.

It's important to pace yourself and stick to a sensible study schedule. Balance study time with some down time, plenty of sleep, and a good diet.
