Homework tastes better with Ketchup

just wondering, how much homework do people do on average during regular days, midterms, finals?

im at uoft engineering second year, and we dick around a lot, during regular days we dont do any homework except for mandatory labs (and thats like one every 10 days). no assighments and at midterms we study for a few hours tops per test. are other courses like this too or do ppl actually do stuff during the weeks?

Which engineering is this?

All I can say is, in electrical, if you're skipping every single non-marked assignment and intend to catch up with it in one massive cramming session before the midterm/final, you're going to do poorly or possibly fail. But then, you never mentioned what kind of marks you were getting with that work ethic...

I'm in 4th year elec at Queen's, which is slightly less work than U of T, and I do less work than most people here. So I can honestly say that I know the ropes, and you're probably pushing it by copying labs and only doing the mandatory work.

its elec/comp (our first two years are common).
and im not gonna 'catch up', cuz im going to the lectures, i also do my own labs (c lab every 3 weeks, and circuits lab every other week), sometimes i copy the prelab, but thats seriously a waste of time...

oh and ya i got low marks so ill shut up now

actually i can honestly say that i did way more homework in highschool than i do now...mainly because they marked more things in highschool

I am 2nd yr Econ. major

I have alot of work to do and most of my courses are boring as hell.
I took this stupid elective thinking it would be easy, turned out it required the most work

I miss easy high school


Posted by HCP on Oct-06-2003 04:41:

Doing my MA in economics. I can potentially be doing work for every hour I'm awake, but I choose not to. All the concepts that were taken as given, back in undergrad, I need to fully understand now... wtf is wrong with taken shit as given! Ah well, I'm almost completed the program so the suffering will only be for a little while longer.

AL.

Studying... Whats that??











I try to study... so damn hard though... too many distractions. Same goes w/ doing homework. When choosing between work and sleep, i always take sleep... such a bad habit.


Posted by Rev. Paroxyzm on Oct-06-2003 15:06:

I rarely study and i get 75-80% marks


Posted by J.L. on Oct-06-2003 17:30:

i'm UofT mech eng first year and i tend to go the night before the test/quiz and work for 5 hours straight to catch up and understand all the homework i missed... otherwise... i don't do much


Posted by TranceKitten on Oct-06-2003 18:43:

Awwww I really wish I could slack so much this semester as I have been for the past...but I really can't..lol
Although rite now I'm suppossed to be doing stuff I can't seem to get my brain to work today...I look at the pages and it seems like a foreign language which I do not understand





Tomorrow is another day

What *doesn't* taste better with ketchup?

Between studies, two jobs, and all the social stuff - I've got shit loads to do.

I should be doing work right now, but instead I'm trying to find decent pictures to send to some family members. And by decent I mainly mean ones without alcohol being featured in them, amongst other unmentionables.

At least I'm listening to Drum and Bass while doing it. Hatim would be proud.

resnik, what engineering are you?

i'm 3rd elec at UofT and bro, all i hafta say is enjoy life for now!! enjoy your every second of that year. 3rd year is beyond fucked. I seriously mean when i say that in the last week i haven't had time to go get a haircut!

true, and it seems that everyone was obsessed with marks in HS, really competitive.. in Uni marks dont mean anything, nobody really cares

unless you want to do your masters afterwards
but yeah, i guess passing is all that matters otherwise

HS your trying to do you best so you can get into university tho so it makes sense...im the kinda person who can remember large amounts of information so i don't need to study for my tests (maybe a quick review for like 10 mins)...but i know i wouldn't last in university with that...and i don't know how to study

so im looking into other things
