Why does your average week schedule look like?

Hi Roxanne,

School-wise, we can have classes starting from 8.30am right through until 6pm. Classes are in 1.5 hours blocks. Some are lectures (usually with the whole group of approx 6o students), some are practical classes (with around 20-30 students) and some are smaller group sessions (with 8-10 students).

The schedule changes from week to week, which can be a little frustrating but keeps it fresh and at least it's not repetitive! The schedule for each quarter is published in advance, so I know where I will be for the next 10 weeks at a time.

A normal day tends to have a mixture of practical classes and lectures, and we are rarely in from early til late - on average maybe 3 classes per day. Sometimes I have a whole day with no classes which is nice!

Other than classes I spend time reading textbooks in preparation for the classes, or if I haven't understood something completely. I watch a lot of videos on YouTube as they usually explain difficult concepts quite well. Somewhere in there I find time to cook, eat and exercise!

Hope this helps a bit, Sam
