He changes the course up, so keep that in mind, but this was roughly how long I spent per week:
1: 5-8 hours (text reading, video lectures, test)
2: 25-30 hours (research paper, text reading, video lectures, test)
3: 10-15 hours (text reading, video lectures, test)
4: 25-30 hours (research paper, video lectures, test)
5: 15 hours (video lectures, test, open-book quiz)
6: 25-30 hours (research paper, video lectures, test)
7: 10 hours (open book quiz)
I completely stopped reading the textbook at a certain point because it was useless. He teaches and tests on his own flavor of marketing so learning from a textbook is counter-intuitive. His lectures are only 1-1.5 hours but it would take me 2.5-3 hours because I had to write specific notes that I could study from. Studying also took a lot of time because memorizing definitions was useless - you need to understand the concept and be able to apply that concept to a business question with five answer selections.
This is NOT an easy class. I can tell you that I was pissed off one way or another every single weekend and I'm not sure a class like FIN should be doubled up with this (though I haven't taken it, just from what I've read). His tests are awfully worded and I never felt like I was "prepared", even after hours of studying.
Keep in mind, this is just my experience. I'm sure other people fared better than I did.
