No I mean how many studying hours at the University do we have(Usually)?
My brother asked me that so I was kind of curious to know.

Of course you and I will still have to spend time studying at home, but I don't think you need 10 hours unless if you can't solve a problem or something. Well not at my level I guess, YEAR3 or 4 maybe?

That actually depends on which course and year you are in. Generally speaking, engineering students have anywhere from 16 to 20+ hours per week of contact hours in uni if I'm not mistaken. Having said that, the number of credits taken in a semester doesn't really show how many contact hours you have, commerce students on the other side usually have 12 contact hours on average with 24 credits taken.

For the 10 hours thingy, it actually includes your contact hours in uni. So say if you have 4 contact hours for that particular subject, you should spend another 6 hours at home studying for that subject. However, like what chris has just said, I haven't actually seen anyone doing that yet lol, not any that I know of at least.

Then usually how many hours do you spend on every subject?
And what course are you taking?

I'm doing commerce, so that's 12 hours in total for me, or 3 contact hours in uni per subject.
If you're asking about how many hours I spend at home, that's kinda hard to tell lol, of course I'll put more hours into it if there's a quiz in the following week or so ay

i have 11 contact hrs, 3 units this semester.. also final year.. how many hrs i spend studying for the past few weeks? err.. lets say <5 hrs total up till today.. which is not good..

but, for the assignments, i spend like about 1-2 hrs per day (if i do it on that day)..

1 of the unit is microsoft excel/access 2007, never even studied that also.. so boring.. lol.. so i think it really depends on wat units ur doing, then depending on ur knowledge on that particular unit, i'll spend more/less time on it..

dont tell me if im doing, lets say introduction to computing, doing ms words, etc etc.. and they recommend me to spend 10 hrs at least, per week on revising stuff.. since i've done it before (the proper way of course, not some chapalang kampung style way of usnig ms words), of coz i wont..

so it really depends on u, on wat u know about the unit, etc.. overconfidence isnt a good thing also.. best to find out wat u have to do and then set ur target, but be dynamic... seriously, of all my 3 years here, i do not know anyone who studies for 10 hrs on a particular unit, per week.. except if its like 4-6 weeks before the exam, then i will.. haha..

*im giving bad advice.. dun folo my footsteps* *hides*

But looks like you're doing IT.
I'm doing Engineering. So ... I don't know what'll happen.
Because my dad expects me to work part time as well. So ... I need to know how much contact hours do we actually have.
But from your feedbacks I guess it should be enough for me to score a balance in both studies and working. Not sure

if u can plan ur time well, then its possible.. from wat i know, those who are doing engineering in my uni, they usually have 20+ contact hrs.. working is fun.. pay is

Yeah.

Im having a midsession exam next week. Have to do the past year papers.

For engineering,i dont think you can work and study at the same time.There isnt much time left after you do all your weekly tuts and study.

Or maybe im just bad at time management.

sure can one.. look at those dudes from china.. they're doing engineering, etc, and work like 20 hrs a week.. some of them having 2-3 different jobs..

anyone else up for monthly metcards in melbourne? just PM me for a special price...

Those people :shake:

smth wrong with them? if you can do it why dont you do it too?

I'll try my first semester there and see how it goes.
Now I just have to concentrate on my finals.
Besides, what part time job can you do that earns you that much until you

I'll try. Then I'll tell you how things turn out

Do those Chinamen do good in their examinations despite 20 hours of working per week?

never look down on them; anyone who is hardwork will have their own ways.

I don't look down on them. I respect their hardwork actually. In fact, I have to learn from them. Haha
I'm not even sure if I can manage to work part time to cover my expenses there(Except for tuition fees).

well anything is possible, where are you heading? sydney?

Yeap, UNSW

I just dont know what to say.

I have a China man in my team for ENGG1000.He didnt contribute anything so far.

Guess working 2-3 jobs is the reason he didnt do anything.

Im not desperate for money and my parents gave me sufficient amount.

The only reason i will work is for a dream quad/octa core gaming machine with 2 9800 GTX2 and 4GB RAM.

Welcome to UNSW,mate.

Yeap, I'll be staying an hour away from the University.
I think, that's what my cousin told me. Have to sit train, then bus. BLUR ~~

enjoy reading cityrail map network ya ..
