  1. Managing Your Time in College

  2. Why is it important to manage your time? CCRI surveys new students twice during their first year at CCRI • A majority of students say they didn’t realize how much time it took to be a college student • High school students are in school for about 30 hours a week • Full time college students are in school about 15 hours a week • College teachers expect you to do a lot more studying and preparation outside of class – they may not tell you this! Study Formula: 3 hours of class x 2 hours of studying = 6 hours per week per class! • You should prepare for your classes every week by: • reading your textbook or course materials, doing your homework, doing online activities, watching videos, making flashcards, meeting with a tutor, forming a study group, etc.

  3. Time Management Activity A major key to success is understanding how you spend your time and knowing how to use the 168 hours you have got in each week wisely. Today you will complete a simple assessment to get you thinking about how you spend your time! • Remember: • Be honest • No one is judging you • Think about your long-term goals

Instructions • Write down the number of hours you spend doing each of the listed things • Some daily things you’ll need to multiply by 7, so look out for the “x7” • Add up the hours you spend doing each thing and write that number on the first line • Next, subtract your total number from 168 and write that number on the second line
