Finished yesterday and was oh so looking forward to sleeping in today, but woke up too early... my sleep schedule is fucked up!

but in better news, I will be done my final seasons for a years time! taking next semester off for a co-op! Good Luck to the rest of you!

Congrats!

Where are you off to for co-op?

How is that possible? That's 60 hours a week after school? That's almost 9 hours a day! Is that for real?

60hrs/week is pretty standard at BCIT, maybe even on the low side lol.

Especially when you consider group projects with idiots who waste so much time.

Its only standard because these programs are taught by people who are from industry and aren't actual teachers. They seem to think that throwing everything possible at you will make you learn.

BCIT has taught me that alot of what we learn isn't ACTUALLY used in the field

So would you agree, or disagree, that the material in which you learned isn't used in the field a bad thing?

I wouldn't say its a bad thing. I can see why they teach you what they do because its good to know the basic construction methods and theory, or why an engineer decided to go with a certain design over another. I'm just saying there are some classes that just are not necessary and those are the classes that should be removed from the curriculum. Especially faculty complains that marks are low. The reason: we're overloaded with unnecessary work that's in no way relevant yet we're forced to do it.

Yes, problem with practicing instructors is that they don't have a feel for how much stuff they actually are giving you to do. It just keeps piling on and on.

Its sunday...

Escorted out by campus security.

Yup, My first year semesters (term 1 and 2) had 30 hours a week for just lecture/labs. Factor in homework/study time then it can be 60 hours a week. Especially during weeks of midterms, group projects or design assignments.

This.

All through my diploma program, actual class time hovered between 30 and 35 hours a week.

And none of this time is given to do projects, HW, or studying. I think it depends on how efficient you are with your time, and also how hard you are actually going to try.

But overall the average day looks something like this:

8:30 to 5:30 classes (1 hour off for lunch, some days you might have 2 hours off).

5:30 to 9:30, stay at and work on group projects, or head home and study.

I was one of those people that found it difficult to study at home, so I spent A LOT of time at school. Meaning there were times where it was easier to take a quick nap in my car, or the eh-pod then go home to sleep.

During midterms, finals, or heavy project periods, forget the schedule above. its 24/7 until you get yourself out from under the crazy workload.

I think weekends make the difference in keeping up with the workload and falling behind.


60 hours a week is a good average. I mean there are weeks where you can just go to class and not do anything afterwards, but you will end up paying for these lazy weeks by having to do an 80 or 90 hour week later on in the semester.
