The Passaic Arts and Science Charter School is committed to creating a school where all students thrive and are challenged to become the best version of themselves. Our comprehensive arts and science curriculum prepares students to be lifelong learners, confident in their abilities, and prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century.
It’s a pretty simple concept for anyone to grasp, but the problem is that many do not realize how much of our students’ time is dedicated to studying. It’s estimated that about 40 percent of all college students take at least one class in their first two years of college, a trend that is only expected to continue.
While it’s a fact that every student takes at least one class during their first two years of college, many go much further in college. One study estimates that the average student spends two years studying, and the average college student spends three years. That means that each student spends over 200 hours a year studying. If each student took one course in their first two years, that would mean they spend about 3,600 hours researching and writing papers.
The average undergraduate is expected to spend between 1,700 and 3,100 hours a year. That means that each student spends roughly 30 hours a week studying. That is roughly 12 hours a week for each student, which is a lot of time.
Each student spends a lot of time on their schoolwork, which is why the average undergraduate is advised to take at least 10 classes per term. If each student takes seven classes, that’s 50 hours. If they take eight, that’s 120 hours. That’s a lot of time.
A lot of time. The typical student attends school for 4 years at a time, and that means each student works on at least one paper per term. The average student works on approximately 100 papers each year. That’s a lot of paper work. It’s not exactly a lot of time, but it’s more than the average undergraduate can find time to spend.
This article was written by our own Chris M. Weismann, an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania, and was published in the Passaic Arts and Science Charter School. Chris has been teaching at Passaic Arts and Science for nine years and is also a member of the school’s Board of Trustees, and has been an instructor for over 15 years. He has also written for the Passaic Arts and Science website.
Chris M. Weismann teaches many classes on the history of New Jersey’s arts and sciences, including the history of the arts, the history of science, and the history of the arts and sciences.
Chris’s classes teach students how to use the history of New Jersey’s arts and sciences curriculum to teach the history of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. In class students learn to use this curriculum to teach the history of the arts in the state of New Jersey.
This is a great opportunity for any young student interested in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) to learn about the history of New Jersey’s arts and sciences curriculum and the history of New Jersey’s arts and sciences curriculum. Chris has some great courses on these subjects and is ready to teach them to anyone interested.
