Just seen my time table for next year at University.

Monday, 9 o clock till 11
Thursday 9 o clock till 1
Friday 9 o clock till 12

and that example is the longest week I've got. Most are shorter.


I'm glad I don't pay another 3 grand to 3 and half grand now to live there when I'll get the train and I'll be home by 1 most days. (that's the days I go)

My daughter has one, two hour lecture per week, for the whole of year two, the rest of the time is "self study", its like doing an open university course at Carnegie now.

All part of cutting costs I presume.

Perhaps stop sponsering every Tom, Dick and Harry and you might have some money to spend on teaching.

When it is like that they may aswell just squash everything into a year and be done with it.

I have never understood why there isn't a minimum number of hours of direct teaching time needed for a degree course.
