Have you heard of the old fable the hare and the tortoise? One of the morals of this fable is "Slow and steady wins the race!"
As week 3 is drawing to its end (which means your first assignment is about to due soon), how much time are you currently spending on your study? And more importantly, how much time should you spend on each course (subject)?

Remember your study includes both contact hours (time spend on attending lecture/tutorial/practicum/workshop) and non-contact hours (time spend on readings; doing research in library for your assignments; writing; tidying your notes; weekly revision).
UniSA has a formula to determine how much time you should be spending on your own personal study. Each 4.5 unit course is equivalent to approximately 10 hours per week. This includes your contact and non contact hours at uni. For example, if you have 4 contact hours (2 hours lecture, 2 hours tutorial) per week, then it is expected that you will spend approximately 6 hours of personal study in the same week.
In order to help yourself manage your time and get organize, you can use the Study planner.

In addition, the counsellor can also help you manage the three "public enemies" in your study:
1) Procrastination
2) Perfectionism
3) Lack of motivation
Start now, be consistent, and you'll win the race!

What fun!
Is the glass half full or half empty? On one hand, it's great to know that 45% of our voters are spending minimum of 8 non-contact hours per week in their study. But on the other hand, 55% of our voters are spending between 1-8 non-contact hours per week in their study. This may or may not be sufficient, depending on a variety of factors such as how demanding is your course, how effective and efficient is your study progress, and what grade are you aiming to get.
In conclusion, kick start your personal study NOW and you will reap your REWARDS in July! Best of luck!
