Sat for about 6 hours saturday (literally thinking, not actually doing anything) trying to work out how i'll answer the last part of my programming assignment after the first 5 parts took 1-1.5 hours tops all together to complete. Didnt help much, although i did actually solve it in about 10 minutes the sunday morning after.
Other than that, dont really do much work at home <3 comp sci. Theres maybe 5 or so tute questions a week for each subject, the only real work i have is readings for my artsy subject.

How many hours? It was around 7 in the one night, with a few breaks for BOS.santaslayer said:

Wow. You guys are serious about uni. I am serious too, but gosh...I am dead by 10pm every night since uni started, so staying up at 4 would have killed me by then. WHich means I basically have to absorb on the run--listen and absorb in lectures. Bad technique, but oh well...

This sucks. I get home ~7-8pm each day. Work till 12. Get to uni at 8am, work, then sleep through most of my lectures.
This strategy does not work.

For the first time since the HSC, I find myself working so long that it's not constructive.nwatts said:How many hours? It was around 7 in the one night, with a few breaks for BOS.
About three nights ago, I was doing all this law reading for an essay. I was just working through these readings for 5 hours before I realised I had missed tutoring, dinner, and subsequently going out for a movie.
Unfortunately, I don't really realise that I've been working for too long -- I don't switch off. I think I need to do what was done in the HSC and have an alarm that goes off every hour. Otherwise I randomly realise 'wait... I don't know what was actually said for the past 8 pages...' :S
That being said, I haven't done anything till 4:05 AM (yet).
Weird, my bro as been in uni for 2-3 years now, doing comp science as well, and he only ever does work like the day before its due. He almost never turns up to lectures, and he still gets a high mark.
But then again, that's just him, he did that for the hsc as well (only studying for a hsc exam the day before) and he still did well.

I find i'm the kind of worker who can go solid for an extended period of time and be extremely productive. So this pattern works for me.PwarYuex said:
But yeah I make sure i've got nothing on while studying. I'd hate to miss all that without realising. :S

It really depends, if you do a hardcore coding subject you could be up to the early hours of the morning coding. However this year (for me at least) my workload at home seems really light. Basically in a week the norm would be: 10 or so tute questions for each maths subjects (i do two), which would take about an hour or so if i did them, but i prefer to wait and do them in tutes so you can get help if needed. I do a comp subject, which gives about 5 tute questions, again leave them for actual tutes. So really assignments are the main things I do at home, which havent started getting too hardcore yet...litany said:
