Time on task. The more time spent learning, the more will be learned. My colleague Dr. Sandra Clark cites this rule of thumb: 1 hour for a C, 2 hours for a B, and 3 hours for an A. She is referring to hours studying for each hour spent in class (credit hour). This means that a three-credit course should be treated as a 12-hour per week obligation. - http://webhost.bridgew.edu/jhayesboh/NOT13TH/studytip.htm
