Re: Time-management

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh this is interesting. (Not sarcasm, tragically I'm genuinely interested . ;))

Is it different across the subjects? Here in the UK, a timetable like yours would be standard for a humanities subject such as English or History where there are huge reading lists. For a science subject the timetables are usually around 25 hours of lectures a week.

Re: Time-management

[making_excuses]

I'm forever curious about how Higher Education (and education in general) is done across the globe.

I do humanities, I guess? Film and Television Studies, so we have a huge reading/watching list, and not many lectures which is normal for all of the Humanities studies*, people doing science obviously needs to do lab work and such and tend to have more of a busy schedule, also people studying practical stuff (in my Uni, cameramen and the practical film/tv studies) spends more time at their lectures.

Also here is another random fact: I don't have to go to my lectures (we might have a subject where we need to show up to 80% of the group study things because of oral presentations and such) they don't take attendance and I will not be marked based on it.

Actually I will never be marked by my Profs. under my name an external office creates numbers and we sign with those on our exams (Except Oral Exams, but they always bring in one examiner from a different University to sit with our regular Prof.), which are the only things we get graded on.

So my final grade is just that, it is my only grade in that subject (or one of 2 if I have a written and oral part)

We have one big assignment for each subject that we have to pass to get to take the exam, but that is it (the group study thing if mandatory will also count)

*With some exceptions, but I am not familiar with them, I know people studying to be a teacher tend to go to their University Colleges from 8.30 to 16.00 or something like that.

woops sorry Anon, that was a lot more than what you asked for, I get a bit carried on

Also going to sleep now, I'll reply in time for the next post.

Re: Time-management

Chiming in again because this is really fascinating to me.

There were some classes where it didn't matter whether I turned up for lecture, and others where it did; professors were given leeway to grade on whatever criteria they deemed appropriate, and some of them valued attendance more than others. On top of that, the grades that one got in a particular course impacted one's entire academic career. How one did on an exam mattered less than how one did in the class as a whole. You could ace the final, but still drag down your grade point average due to how you performed during the rest of the semester.

Basically just sharing experiences at this point, since you seem interested, yourself. Hope you sleep well. :)

That was really interesting, thanks! I would write a reply with my own experience, but I am also off too bed, as it's almost 2am.

Will drop by tomorrow before the next post and reply properly. Goodnight!
