Common use of Study patterns Clause in Contracts

Study patterns. We asked students about the time they spend studying and doing other academic work. As Table 24 shows, the typical student spends about 32 hours per week on academic activities.  On average, students report spending about 15 hours in class and labs each week, and another 17 hours on academic work outside class. 10 or fewer 28% 28% 28% 24% 16% 11 to 15 35% 35% 38% 32% 33% 16 to 20 22% 22% 19% 24% 33% 21 to 30 12% 12% 11% 16% 16% More than 30 3% 3% 3% 4% 2% Average number of hours 14.6 14.3 14.7 15.7 16.7 10 or fewer 40% 41% 38% 39% 35% 11 to 15 17% 17% 17% 17% 14% 16 to 20 17% 17% 17% 15% 20% 21 to 30 16% 16% 17% 17% 19% More than 30 10% 10% 12% 11% 13% Average number of hours 17.2 16.9 17.9 17.8 19.0 15 or fewer 14% 15% 13% 12% 8% 16 to 20 12% 11% 13% 11% 9% 21 to 30 28% 28% 27% 26% 27% 31 to 40 22% 23% 22% 22% 27% More than 40 24% 23% 26% 28% 30% Average number of hours 31.8 31.2 32.6 33.5 35.7 As one would expect, full-time students spend more time than part-time students on their academic work in and out of class. On average, full-time students (34 hours) spend about double the amount of time on academic work in and out of class than part-time students (17 hours). However, the hours spent outside of class relative to those spent in class are much higher for part-time students (2.2 hours outside of class for every hour in class) than full-time students (1.1 hours outside of class for every hour in class). The time students devote to their academic work varies by their discipline.  On average, those in Engineering programs spend the most total time on their academics, both in and out of class. In total, they average about 42 hours per week on academics. No other discipline averages more than 39 hours per week (next highest is Professional program students at just under 39 hours).  Students in Business programs spend the least total time on academics (28 hours per week), and average the least hours in and outside of class.
