10. How to Effectively Study and Manage Workload
10.3. Managing Your Stress and Workload
As a student, time management is key to managing your workload. Not only will the skill of time management help you be a better student... but it may also help you be a more effective and efficient employee upon graduation. Time management is all about self-awareness and self-control. You must set priorities to meet academic goals and essential "life tasks"... and then fit in other activities as your workload calendar will allow.
Class Workload Estimator:
How much outside time does your course require? Many faculty tell students that they should spend 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class, suggesting that students spend 6-9 hours per week on course assignments and studying for exams. But how does that translate into actual assignments?
Rice University has developed a Student Workload Estimator (Links to an external site.) that lets you input assignments, reading, exams, etc. and estimates how much time the average student would spend each week.
Workload Management Calendar (Key to success):
In the link below are time and workload management tips, self-help activities, and example time management sheets/workload calendars to help you maximize your time so that you can perform your best academically.
