workload (1 Viewer)

[theism]

so i heard in year 12 the workload and amount of homework is pretty much double what we did in year 11.

when does this supposedly start?

already two days in, and i havn't got any homework.
is it after week three, that the huge workload comes into effect?

Year 12 is as much work as you make it; and if you haven't been given work now you should probably start working for yourself anyway; as it will certainly pay off in the end.

i think most ppl have hsc assessments near the middle - end of this term, so i reckon by then we'll have heaps of things to study for. its only a couple of days in, nothing will be different yet. we should enjoy it while we can

i alrdy get large amound of hws from MX2 class =0

takes around 1hr 30m to finish =_=

It depends on what classes you take. If you do maths, expect a lot of homework and self-set questions. If your courses are mainly essay based, then your homework load won't be that heavy.

Personally, this year I've had less homework than any other.

2-3 hrs a night should be enough for most subject selections.

 

[Absolutezero]

2-3 hours. Really depends on the subject. Some courses you can learn all the content, and thus there is no way you'd need to study for that long.

 

[chltmddus112]

i spend around 2-3 hrs doin hw for maths ext2, physics and business studies.

other subjects lyk senior science, esl and korean, i dont really get much homeworks. i rarelly get hws in senior science XD.. but i always get hws in maths

The massive massive workload begins term 3. Something to look forwards to, enjoy!

 

[Aerath]

Our workload isn't that bad. Yet.

 

[ajdlinux]

It does also depend on your teachers and so on. I get basically zero homework for Legal, and hardly any for Physics. Not much for English either, so most of my homework is Maths, MX1 and MX2.

 

[theism]

is it just because i don't do maths or science?

my subjects are mostly in humanities.

ie economics, legal studies, geography.

there isn't that much of a work load, u can make ur work load as big as you want though, i did 7 hours of study yesterday ahhhh

 

[lblumberg]

im sure it depends on ur sujects
if u do like 4u of maths of course u have heaps of hw... its a given
i also do more humanities subjects.. i always have hw for modern and eng
i reckon by next week the workload will start to pile and just get bigger and bigger with time :s
soon there will also be heaps of assessments etc
we r supposed to do 'at least 3 hrs' according to my school diary

 

[bubblesss]

Guys lets be realisted as a 08 student

In term 4 2008 to term 1 2009, you should be doing 4hrs, but u cant do 4hrs all night, since u have take home assessments

When u get to term 2, it should increase to 5-6hrs a night

During 2-4 weeks pre trials, u should all be doing 6hrs minimum, and the more the better

Stuvac 8-10hrs

This is real shit from an 08 student, im not kidding

I dont say good luck to people, 'forutune wiill only favour the brave' i.e. work hard = luck

youch.

i dont think its too hard for humanities subjects though?

just learn the shit in the syllabus.
remember all the shit.
then you'll do fine?

Humanities subjects can sometimes be harder - a lot of content, but if you're good at remembering things verbatim, then you'd be fine.

Nasonex is right about the hours you should be putting in, i myself didn't put in those hours so that's why i'm screwed.

Also this thread needs a synonym for "workload".
