Uni Timetable

Thats a fairly typical amount of hours. I only had 9 in my first year, one of my flat mates had 6- over 2 days!

Law students typically have more than that at my university, but I suppose it varies.

Thanks for the reply
So you think, with all my tutorials, workshops, seminars and lectures, 10 hours a week is standard, for first term timetable?

It Varies, the uni that I dropped out of last year only gave me 4 hours tuition a week.

My new uni that I am in this year has given me 13 hours a week.

may i ask what Uni you dropped out of?

I left Goldsmiths College London.

Dont work out how much it costs you per hour - this = unhappiness

Thats a pretty good Uni, why did you drop out?

Hi
Got my uni timetable last week and im abit unsure about it. I study law and im in my 1st year, and 1 week i get 8 hours tuition and the week with my tutorials included, is 10 hours a week. Is that normal, or not?
Thanks

Multiple reasons: Some are the unis fault, some aren't.

My accommodation was dire, up an alley (that for a few weeks had sick and human diarrhea spewed across the entrance that you had to gingerly step around), my room had no window and shared walls with two front doors that were slammed until 4am. I wasn't in halls, I was in a small flat with five other girls who I had nothing in common with. In the freshers week I was stopped by a terrifying hobo guy who wanted change, when I gave him a couple of coins out of my back pocket he shouted "I know you students have more than that" and I ended up giving him about a tenner.

I got two lectures a week. In the lectures I learned nothing because the teachers just repeated what had been set for reading. In the seminars NO ONE else did the reading, so we just spent the seminar explaining the reading to those people in GCSE speak, I dont think I actually learned a single thing the whole time I was there. We had to explain to the people who didn't bother what the words "connotation" or "juxtapositon" meant because they couldn't read the set reading.

Then once a week you'd have a "production workshop" - which was (I kid you not) playing with crayons and pastels and drawing pictures of leaves - something I did when I was in year 2.

The assessed essays were alright - everyone got a 2.1, even the people who said "Whats a reference? I didn't know you had to reference things I just wrote what I thought" after handing it in. Then after handing in a draft, my tutor said I was a "silly woman" for being unsatisfied with a 2.1 and made me do something completely different two weeks before the final deadline that had NOTHING to do with what I had researched for the last 3 months.

Hated it.
