Re: Best/worst timetable?Timetable is different every week, generally this year (2yr) its been mon-wednesday 9.30 till 4pm but sometimes we're in the skills lab doing clinical skills which are on thursdays or fridays depending on the group your in, though we have had a few full weeks. This is just uni. On placement which last about 10-11 weeks its 37.5 hours worth of shift work earlies, lates, nights...generally the weeks where we do the least work because we're too tired to do it after placement days.
Though i wouldn't change it as its what i want to do

Re: Best/worst timetable?£9000 a year(Original post by Dan1909)
Some of these timetables are crazy! Seems that around 10 hours a week isn't that uncommon?
I'd hate to work out how much that costs per hour with the new fees!
30 weeks in a year
10 hours a week
300 hours of lectures
£9000 / 300 hours = £30 per hour
(which is alright in my opinion *if your going to a top university)
£20 per hour is how much i charge students for private tuition.
not to mention if you get 15+ hours a week its less than or equal to £20 per hour
if u get -5hours a week then its more like greater than or equal to £60 per hourLast edited by meraphox; 01-03-2012 at 18:40. -

I was more saying that compared to people who have 30-40 hours of face to face time a week, and possibly time in the labs as well, paying the same for that little actual teaching seems awful! -

Re: Best/worst timetable?I actually quite like mine at the minute. 9am starts are a pain but finishing quite early means I'm up and about to do other exciting things like.. go to the gym! Go to the library! Yaaayyyy!
Monday 9-4.30
Tuesday FREEEEE
Wednesday 9-12
Thursday 9-2 or 9-5 if I have labs.
Friday 9.30-12.30
Not bad. -

Re: Best/worst timetable?Monday - 12-2, 4-5
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - 10-11
Thursday - Off
Friday - 12-2
Not too bad but it's annoying that I could have had everything at the start of the week if I changed teaching groups. Which I can't cause they're full

Re: Best/worst timetable?Mine's pretty good although we have a lot of independent study atm.
Monday 2-4 hours(9-11 or 9-1, it alternates)
Tuesday 2 hours (9-11)
Wednesday Free
Thursday 4 - 6 hours although has now changed to 2.5 (30min tutorial and 2 hour lecture every other week)
Friday free
The only issue is the 9ams but I like the amount of free time I have atm. This is primary education.
