How HUGE is the Workload?! (1 Viewer)

[babyslug]

I just finished an essay for 'Crime and Criminal Justice'. Along with this, in week 4, i have 2 essays due, and 2 presentations, in addition to 150 pages of reading a week. WTF?!
Who else is in a spot of bother?

Crime and CRiminal Justice used to have a pain in the arse media assingment to do on politics .. it was the biggest pain. I'd rather do the essay

You learn to do the minimum to get past

thats coz u got work on top of all that shit.......

They expect 10 hours on top of what you're doing at uni, for each unit. That's equivalent to no life.

I don't have very much work that needs to be done, apart from a few assignments, of which i thought that they were gonna be easy, until i started them, and discovered that they were gonna take a hell of a lot of research. lol.

I think my plan is to chew away at each essay slowly over a few weeks. When i thought hard about this workload, i thought - thank god i'm not doing maths/chemistry, i'd hate to be doing maths, i'm so lucky just having to read.

Yeah I don't mind the Psych readings, its interesting how we work.

 

[Dingo2004]

yeah, it already seems like if you fall behind, it'll be a domino affect.

 

[boredofschool]

it seems impossible at the moment to read ahead for lectures....
its hard enough just doing the reading for the previous lecture!
