For the university students, how many hours of class do you have per week?

[feiticeria]

I'm a Ryerson student, Business Management and we have 3 hours of class per week, sometimes a straight up 3 hour lecture, other times it split between lecture and labs. I've never had more than 20 hours of class per week, usually 15 hours. But I remember others having much more, somone who went to Brock told me they have 6 hours a week and a friend going to University of Ontario Institute of Technology mentioned he has 6 courses for 36 hours a week.

So I'm curious to know, whats the norm usually? I understand different universitites have different styles, some promote independent work, some team work and I guess Ryerson promotes a whole lotta outside learning?

Don't worry, it will only get worse :D. They will even exacerbate this by popping in a 3 - 6 hr break between subsequent classes.

same thing at UBC

[EchoAngel911]

from my old days, ut eng ... 35-40/week

[feiticeria]

i mentioned 3 hours per class...i have 5 this semester, so 15 hours per week. But yea, the profs. are always stressing 15-20 hours of outside of class work per week for some of my classes. I'm darn sure its the same for all Biz students.

[legendofxix]

about 28 or so hours a week.

I went from 15+ hours a week at York to 7 hours a week at Concordia. I love the Quebec school system. :D It feels like a Toronto high school except with older people

[goffeebeans]

12 hrs a week here + an internet course.

for 1st-3rd year courses, it seemed pretty useless coming to class as most of the time they just read to you. Only went to meet/talk with people, unless the prof was actually teaching or having case study discussions.

Most of my 4th year courses, involve a lot more group work and case studies which make up the bulk of the marks, so i'm always there.

[jayslay]

only 15hr of classes but in 4th year, when i was in 1st year i had 25+

[jli]

approx 16hrs/week not including non-mandatory tutorials and such.
1st year life science utsg

[DaVibe]

Ryerson Politics & Governance

5 3-Hour Classes = 15 Hours

I think the majority of the Criminal Justice/Sociology/Psychology/Politics & Governance programs for undergrads are 3 Hours.
2 Hour lecture and a 1 hour tutorial/lab.

haha, exact same for me as well last year, but somewhere around an hour fifteen minutes instead. Sometimes during rush hour it would take close to 2 hours. I bought a car in the summer, so ever since i've been driving to school so it's not too bad, only 30 minutes. But going for just 1 class sucks still.

It really annoys me when they make the schedules and don't have any consideration for the students. Last year I had an 8am class which ended at 11, then almost a 5 hour break till my next class, and then go home at rush hour...
