What classes are you taking this semester?

[SliK]

I would be too if I was studying philosophy

[Solace]

Yeah, OSAP has been a great help.

[CrashBand]

Maybe I should have aspired to be psychologist with every other suburban white girl that feels obligated to go to uni after high school.

[SliK]

Yeah there a are a LOT of chicks in my degree, that's very true.

[Solace]

That does sound good, but I haven't personally checked into OSAP. My family did it for me (my sister, considering she's already gone through OSAP so she's familiar with the application, and my mother considering she's been everything to me financially my entire life). If you could actually provide a link that would be helpful. I googled it myself so that I could check in with my mom/sister, but to no avail.

[Solace]

Sounds good, man.

[Amaranthine]

Financial Accounting, East Asian Civilizations, Micro Economics, and (for the 10237447th time in my life as an American student), American Government. Also going to add a fifth class, but it's unidentified for now.

[SliK]

5 courses a semester, fuck that.

[NextEpisode]

5 courses a semester, fuck that.

8 is where it's at, yo.

[CrashBand]

I'm doing macro economics which I feel is kinda bullshit at uni

[SliK]

5 courses a semester, fuck that.

8 is where it's at, yo.

Well your courses must be a peace of piss, I guarantee there's no uni in Australia that would offer 8 courses a semester. It would literally be impossible to handle that workload.

[EG.]

- Argumentation studies
- General law and law methodology
- Introduction to private law
- History of politics and public law
- Economics
- Philosophy of law and political ideologies
- Practical exercises of the above

25hrs of class a week

[SliK]

That's bogus. General rule of thumb here is 10 hours a week of extra study per course, outside of the 4 hours of classes per course. How could you even do 70 hours a week extra? Especially law, there is so much reading to do in that degree. I have a friend who does law at The University of Sydney and she is pulling her hair out every goddamn semester just doing four courses.

its true tho. I will have 25hrs of class a week. The extra study hours are different here.

- Argumentation studies (90hrs of extra study per semester)
- General law and law methodology (180hrs per sem)
- Introduction to private law (240hrs per sem)
- History of politics and public law (180)
- Economics (90)
- Philosophy of law and political ideologies (120)
- Practical exercises of the above (180)

[SliK]

How long are your semesters? Because those times seem pretty similar to Australian courses, based off a 12 week semester.
