At NLS the official limit is 50 pages per class, so that would be about a thousand/ two thousand pages per class, 5-10 thousand per semester. Some professors do go over the limit considerably, nothing to be done about it when the subject requires it tbh. This is all quite normal.
I did my llm at an ivy league university, it was like a hundred words a day per subject- something like that- unless you were in business school then you didnt learn much. It goes fast when you get used to it.
theres enough time. on average- 50 pages shouldnt take you longer than an hour. If youre reading judith butler or spivak or someone dense- it might take longer, but if youre reading cases- it might take less time. but on average an hour for every subject is quite reasonable.
Is there enough time? Some colleges seem to hold exams within 4 months of 1st semester.
