Workload?

[EvangelionZeta]

Just wondering from anyone who's done a Uni subject before - how much work do you have to do every week for it?  I cope well with a high workload, but I don't want another ten hours tacked on to the end of every week.  :p

1 hour before quizzes and 2 full days before the exams.

Is that what most people find or just you?

Hmm, hopefully the workload's not too excessive.

In my experience, its no more than a VCE subject.

I have weekly set tutorial questions (depending on the questions, can take anywhere between 30mins to ~2-3hrs per week). Some subjects have extra reading tacked on (I know Econ. does...). That's excluding any weekly study/revision you might wish to undertake.

(Then again, you're intending to do philosophy, so it'd probably be more time spent on the subject per week...not sure)

hey i did enhancement maths this year at monash. All i had to do was attend 1 hour tute a week, and do 3 assingments for the whole subject. I didnt read up or do any questions until a week before the exam, and got a HD, so really its not much workload. It can get annoying, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

I'm thinking of doing an enhancement as well (chem) and i know that it is a bit more work because of pracs etc. but can u really just cram for them before the exams?? haha and also- do u now around what time the exams were this year- especially in relation to other vce exams?? before? after? during?

oh btw, does anyone know the term dates for the monash enhancement program?
i thought it was 12 weeks per semester, but someone told me it was the same length as school (so 16 weeks for first semester, ect)
