Studying
Studying
Most professors have different priorities and expectations than teachers. They expect students to carry the bulk of the load in a class and view themselves as available resources. The table below summarizes those differences.
| High School | College |
|---|---|
| Students may study as little as two hours outside of class | Students are expected to study outside of class at least two to three hours for every hour of class |
| Students read and write about what is discussed or read in class | Students are expected to read and write about material not covered in class |
| Students are told exactly what they need to learn from class and from assigned readings | It is up to the student to read the materials because lectures and assignments are often based on these readings |
| Students usually study from a single book or resource | Students usually rely on multiple books and resources to prepare for class |
