Time Management - Windward Community College

Time Management Exercise

In this exercise you'll work on a 7-day, 24-hour schedule. When you're done, press the SUBMIT button and your schedule will be shown to you. Feel free to come back and adjust your answers until you achieve a balanced schedule.

1. How many hours (average) per week would you need to sleep a night in order to wake up feeling refreshed and able to concentrate in class and on homework? hours/week

2. How many hours do you plan on working a week during the school semester? /week

3. How many credits will you take per semester?   credits/semester

Note: On average, 1 credit hour=1 hour of class/week. Labs are the exception.

4. How many hours per week do you need to study in order to earn A’s and B’s in the credits you are registered for?   /week

Note: The average time a student should study per hour in class is 2-3 hours. A full time student with 12 credits should theoretically be studying 24-36 hours per week. 12 hours in class and 24 hours of studying equals 36 hours per week. Being a full-time student is a full time job!
