4 Essays and 1 piece of research coursework on the representation of children in anti-cruelty adverts, in a week.. Not nice at all, my evenings should be spent on DoD, not writing 2000 words a night :(
 
If you budget your time, college doesn't require cramming.

They tell you way in advance the projects/midterms/stuff due right?

I'm feeling you! I feel the same, I want to play CS:S every evening, but have homework and my elite sport, so it's hard sometimes, to fint the time to play, but i'll try as hard as I can ;)

hmm, they do.. but i always leave it to the last minute because i spend most of my time either playing DoD or on the forums haha, Oh well.. I've got done what needs to be in for tomorrow now, so a sigh of relief has just been made! I'll probably get more work tomorrow to do for over the weekend :( I don't understand why teachers give us work, which they have to mark which takes up there free time, it just doesn't make sense! :P

The teaching assistants mark the papers.

How much work is assigned will affect the number of TA hours required for the course, which is determined by how much tuition students paid for the course..

I paid $1,100 per course during college. Imagine the amount of work required for each one. :blink:
 
First year of college was easy. It was pretty much a repeat of high school. I'm in my second year now and it sucks. I have a herpetology practical one week from today that I've been studying for for the past month and a half (biology major). Next semester is going to be even worse with 19 credit hours, especially my biology load: evolution, microbiology with lab, and physiology with a lab.

Nonetheless, I've always known about work due in advance but I still procrastinate a lot.
 
lol, I had one class last semester where I had about 18 papers to write. 18 papers for just one class :)

Ahhhh... this is why I like the English education system, only had to pay ?25 to enroll in mine :D

But I feel for you, doing a Diploma in Medical and Forensic science's which is the equivalent of getting 3 A-Levels. The essays are difficult, confusing and irritating when you wish to shoot a terrorist in the face instead.
 
hehe, never! I managed to finish some of that work in the evening of that night, i can forum whilst writing essays! :P
 
I think the WORST class I ever took was one of my Grad level classes. I averaged about 25 hours a week JUST on that class.
 
no offensive but collage goddamn expensive and you should actually get your crap done on time.

since that is a way better alternative than failing and being out of school still paying the bill for school and getting no value from this expensive investment.

and from the third person it doesn't really sound like you got too large a work load it just sounds like you mis manage time and try to multi-task while you work so the bit of time you actually put in is not used it's best.
 
College work is pretty easy, it's the essays that are a pain. Although I usually save them for the last minute since I'm lazy.
 
Essays will be the death of me. I have 3 politics essays to do before Wednesday, and of course I've had ages to do them, I've just left them till the last minute like a normal student.
