Study Time Required

Two hours or more of outside study for each class hour of lecture/discussion is usually needed for satisfactory performance, although this amount may vary from student to student.

Two-hour laboratories giving one credit hour usually demand an hour of outside work to complete assignments. If three (3) hours or more of laboratory work are required for one credit hour, students should be able to complete assignments during the laboratory period.

Students who plan to work at outside jobs while attending Richland should take study time into consideration when planning their schedules.
