Can anyone enlighten me -


1) Are 'seminars' just a small-ish discussion group of students with one teacher?

2) Can one feasibly (as dictated by my timetable) remain productive for two whole hours?

Perhaps English is such a huge course that they can't take all students in one lecture theatre...
Wouldn't surprise me at all if they double up.

1) Yep. The seminar leader usually just facilitates discussion.

2) I had a 2 hour weekly seminar for maths at my last uni and it was such a bore. We got a break of 15 mins though which made it a little more tolerable.

This could be for a number of reasons:

1) If it's a seminar - these are scheduled on different days of the week to accommodate all groups.
2) English is a pretty popular subject - it may be that the lecture theatres simply aren't big enough.
3) Could be to do with the electives/modules you have chosen.

Hey,

Here is my 2nd year timetable for my Spanish and Italian degree:

Total contact time: 12 hours a week

Monday: 2pm-4pm
Tuesday: 11pm-1pm
Wednesday: 9am-12pm
Thursday: 10am-4pm
Friday: Free!

I didn't think it was a bad draw of times; just the one early start, and after all, I am at university to work :smile:

Oh my god....

My timetable swaps around every week and is either 17 hours a week or 23 hours a week with all of them near enough morning starts and with no days off.

Oh well

mine swaps around too, but the most i have is 14 hour weeks, and that's only 3 of the first 4 weeks, then i have all 10 hour weeks! this is good. i still have no days off though. but i'm guessing a lot of the time that i have off is gonna be spent on independant study, so in reality it's gonna be more like 30 hour weeks, not that i'm complaining...
8 hours a week, my earliest start is 10am, my latest finish is 4pm, and I have Wednesdays off.

I don't think it's going to kill me :biggrin:
I still, according to Sussex direct, have only 2 hours a week and no tutor :p: Sounds great to me!

I've still got one more module to fit in but so far i have 8 hours a week with Wednesday and Thursday off! Would have preferred a Monday or Friday off but i suppose i'll live :wink:
I got my first choice of electives.
