Calculate your course workload
• Each paper is worth a 15 points.
• Allocate one hour per point per week to study for each
paper • e.g. (1 paper x 15 points is 12.5 hours of study a week) x 4 papers = 60 hours per week
• This time includes reading, writing , lectures, workshops and revising – it doesn’t include drying , gluing, sanding, painting or design time,
• Some weeks you may need to do more
• Try to work consistently, within time limits and set weekly
goals

Tips
• Do the worst job first
• Do the pass/fail material next
• Make study sessions short, 20 min, so take regular breaks
• Make sure each task has a deadline
• Use ‘To Do’ lists, phone alarms, post-its, diaries, wall-planners
• Get some study buddies
Try to remember that life happens despite all the good intentions and planning.
The university has systems to cope with this.
