Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.11.26 00:00:00 - [31] Originally by: ReaperOfSly Edited by: ReaperOfSly on 24/11/2008 22:38:45 I laugh at you people and your silly overworked degrees. I only ever did one essay at uni and we were given 2 terms to do it. Mine came to about 7 pages and I got a first for it. And a grand total of about 6 hours assignment work per week (most of which I got done in free periods between lectures), a bit more if I did the optional hard questions. I swear, I probably did less work than a media studies student I never had to write an essay, do one bit of work outside lectures/labs, or study for a test more than one day before the test. Beat that. - DesuSigs
Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.11.26 00:04:00 - [32] Originally by: ReaperOfSly My degree was maths. Which is like the king of "hard subjects". And it was at a Times top 5 university. Which is why I get rather sceptical when people complain about ALL THAT HORRIBLE HARD WORK they have to do at uni. Oh and the first was only for that particular piece of work, I got a 2:2 overall. Will soon be starting a job making missiles. Edit: don't get me wrong, it was hard work. But it's not the overwhelming stress-inducing carnage that people make it out to be unless you leave assignments to the last minute. I still do not get your initial post about, "I laugh at you people and your silly overworked degrees" But do agree with the sentiment of time management. My workload was horrendous through undergrad and grad school, but I still had more then enough time to be overly social Just because you were a math major does not reduce other programs and their curriculum to null though. I still believe you over stated yourself unintentionally, but dude that quote really irks me. One of the reasons this irks me is my BS degree is in Physical Education and I get flack for that when people do not even know what my concentration entailed. I bet only a hand full of math majors at my school would have made it through the program I went through. That does not lesson the work that we all did. My apologies for being overlly sensitive on this one though. Slade Originally by: Crumplecorn NerfBat is now known as the WaveMachine. ≡v≡
ReaperOfSly Gallente Zetsubou Corp	Posted - 2008.11.26 00:14:00 - [33] Edited by: ReaperOfSly on 26/11/2008 00:14:45 I have to confess I have no idea what a physical education degree entails. It sounds like a fluffy subject, but that's just because I'm an elitist bugger who thinks that anything not maths related isn't worth doing. Edit: I'm joking by the way. Please don't hit me. ____________________

If my wifes experience of training to be a Physical Training Instructor in the army is anything like that degree it's dam tough on the brain as well as the body. ~~~~ There is no parody in this thread. Honest.

But it's not the overwhelming stress-inducing carnage that people make it out to be unless you leave assignments to the last minute. Ah nice, fair enough then. I think the majority of people leave assignments until the last minute. I'm currently in my fourth year (masters year) of a computer science degree and I'm really surprised that apart from me and one friend that I do work and revision with, everyone else leaves assignments until the last minute. After getting through three years of this, I'd have thought they'd have figured out that it's a bad idea. That said, I can definitely empathise with the OP. I've selected an extra module to do this year in first semester to leave my workload next semester low. I have almost no free time this semester and it does get kind of stressful. Even if he only has some regular reading to do and one 3000 word assignment in two weeks, it doesn't sound like he's being given much time to relax. That's got to be way more stressful than a high workload. EDIT: Also, I guess some people have a very high aptitude for their chosen subjects and some people don't. That can vary the amount of time work takes etc. EVE-Tanking.com - Helping you keep your hull in-tact.
Brea Lafail	Posted - 2008.11.26 01:06:00 - [36] I find the best way to cope with large amounts of work is to sepereate it all into two categories. 1: Do eventually. Contains such things as study for finals and write report. 2: Do never. Contains things such as weekly assignments. When people who commit every waking moment to school find out that my marks are only marginally lower than theirs... delicious tears.

LOL, I got your sarcasm right off the bat on that one. My bad. This evolved into a sensitive topic that I deal with daily and I will not go into that. Back to physical education. If you are going to be a PE teacher the curriculum is pretty fluffy. Well except for pedagogy . There are divisions of physical education that are quite intensive and one of which I decided to study. As for math I had a roomate that was a math major and I would cringe as I would see his group working on problems that took pages to answer. That stuff made my dyslexic head hurt something fierce. In the end it comes down to doing what needs to be done in a time efficient and effective manner. I just wish I could get that to work in EVE Slade Originally by: Crumplecorn NerfBat is now known as the WaveMachine. ≡v≡
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.11.26 05:26:00 - [38] It depends on page size, content, and how well I have to remember the content. but for a third year it doesn't sound unreasonable.
