How many hrs straight? (1 Viewer)

[fishfingerz]

Hey. I dunno if there is a thread like this, haven't been on bos in a while, anyways I made my timetable and on Friday i have 5 and a half hrs straight of classes and tutes. From 9-2:30. The reason is I want 2 days off, tue and thurs. I was wondering is it worth having the extra day off? Or should I separate my large Friday learning into one of my free days? Is it possible though, to do what I have now? I mean, I guess I can eat during the lecture, and they said the lecture finishes 10 mins early anyways. I dunno, what do you guys think? How many hrs straight have u got? Like without an 'official' gap?

Also, for 2 of my units the tutes are on before the first lecture? Is that a problem?

5.5 hours is nothing. Leave it as it is.

Usually if a tutorial is timetable earlier in the week than the lectures, they begin in Week 2. Did you miss this detail? Can you check your university's timetabling unit?

Longest I've had is 4 hours straight. In fact I do it all the time because it's just easier.

Almost enrolled in a class which meant I'd have to do 6 hours straight but my attention span isn't that long.

 

[fishfingerz]

Yeah, well I've got 5 and a half.
Azure, how did you make time to eat and u know, take a mental break? Hmm, maybe I should just take one tute from friday and make it thursday.

@OP, spread it out so you don't bludge away your Tuesdays and Thursdays(like most ppl would do)
also it's not worth buying a weekly ticket(which is quite useful) if you only go to uni for 3 days

btw, I'm 24/7 straight and I'm not homophobic !!!

I just eat something small inbetween the lecture and tutorial. It is a bit draining, but that short walk often helps.

I don't like having massive gaps between classes and try to avoid them when possible. I think that ruins my mental focus the most.

 

[fishfingerz]

Well, I changed my timetable. 5.5 hrs seemed way too much. I cut it down to 3.5 hrs by transferring a tute to one of my vacant days. But now I only have 1 weekday off.

Guess I'll just work weeknights then.

I got 7 hours straight

 

[Studentleader]

4 hours at the most max (haven't chosen labs or tutes.)

 

[terminator69]

I have 17 hours straight. But I have AIDS, so it takes me longer to learn things.

Woah you're kidding, right?
Even einstein needed to take a break. I'm curious now, show us your timetable..

 

[MysteryGenius]

i got unlucky this semester
on tuesdays i go 8 hours straight. 9-5
hells yeah =.='
good thing is that i get weds and every 2nd thursday off

i can do about 4 hours straight without losing focus. it'll be interesting to see how this works out lol

 

[Studentleader]

As I said in the other thread if you have 2 hours 3 hour lab 2 hours you should be alright - labs are pretty cool.

 

[MysteryGenius]

yeah, i'm just glad i only have 1 lecture on that day.. or else i'd probably die of boredom lol

Between 4 and five hours straight, depending on where my tutorial goes. Shortest block of time I've had in three years. Unfortunately it means I'm at uni everyday.

used to have eight hours straight, all pracs and tutes, on wednesday. but then I broke that up, so the longest is five hours on monday and tuesday.
