Masters: How Much Study Time Per Unit?

[chody47]

I know this is really late, but depending on whether or not you have started yet, this might help you. I studied my Masters in Special Education externally. Due to being external, I had lots of readings to do as I couldn't just sit in a lecture and be 'talked at' to get a lot of the information. Most weeks I'd probably spend 5-10 hours per subject studying. For about 3-4 weeks before an assignment was due, I'd probably spend 10-15 hours per week (per subject).

I'm doing masters of social work. I study about 4 hrs a week for 2 subjects last year, but one of those subjects was very familiar to me. Doing 2 this year. Not sure how I wil go....

I'm doing teaching. I spend about 10 per week per subject. Lots and lots of reading and 2 assignments plus an exam per subject per semester. It's full on.

I am doing another post grad dip. And It is all online and I have LOTS of readings today that is very time consuming as well as activities for the modules and assisgments and research for them as well as placements. Last year I had 1 subject per semester, this semester I have 2 subjects and next semester will have 1.

I have kids in CC 1 day a week so I can do placements, and I need to do uni work in evenings and weekends (when not working). Each module take about 4 - 6 hours work and thats without essay work and research for it.
