B Sc (Adv) workload? (1 Viewer)

[lukebennett]

hey guys,

what is the workload like when its 26 hrs? it sounds like alot of work but its hard to tell really. is the content alot harder than school content? is it easy to pick up?
how much work is there outside of lectures and is it all necessary to get good marks and understand your work properly?

thanx

uni science sucks

if u get phy chem bio and ur not a analytical science freak
you will hate it

analyse current, using instruments to analyse data, standing doing stupid chem test

i haad enuf of that last year and dropped haha

 

[lukebennett]

im not sure whether i am an analytical freak or not. im good at doing chem calculations and stuff. im doing adv chem, phys fundamentals, adv bio.

itll be pretty different to the hsc thats all im worried about. its a huge change and i dont know if im suited to it yet.

what do you mean by freak anyway? do you just mean decent? or that you werent good enough (no offense just want to know if you are exaggerating or not?

You'll be fine.

usually they ask that you study outside of uni 1 hour per contact hour. So they recommand you to study 26 hours a week outside of class (coz you got 26 contact hours).

Generally 26 hours are typical for a science student.

hopefully it is easy to pick up
