I thought you only did 3 subjects.
75% of a normal load is still considered full time for most purposes I think.
I don't have a job, but I do some tutoring here and there, and I've been applying at a few places.

I work about 12-14 hours a week on top of 20 hrs of uni and 10 hours travelling time, it means i have 2 be really motivated, do a lot of work at uni, and give up my previous social life (only out once per week) i enjoy work, so i dont mind it....it's hard, but i just need 2 be better organised

I had to quit my job because of the ridiculous amount of work required for my degree.

It looks at this stage that there is roughly a 50/50 split, although not many people have voted so far.

70 people aren't alot?
The more the better but I think at least 100 plus would be good. The results are still bouncing around a fair bit. It always seems to stay at around 50/50 though.

i work about 10 hours per week, i have one regular sunday job, and then a casual job at uni that fits around everything else. I'm at uni about 32 hours a week, plus an "optional" 3 hours extra for one of my subjects, and i spend about 15 hours a week travelling.
Its pretty crazy, but like someone else said, it makes you get your butt into gear and get organised. Besides, it'll all be worth it in the end... or so they tell me! :)

I have 2 jobs, both with set hours of work. I work Sundays all day, monday and friday nights at Baker's Delight and I am a perfoprming arts receptionist at my old school on saturdays. I am at uni 5 days a week doing a double degree as well... so fare so good, but eventually I will limit my hours at bakers to just sundays when things get more hectic

i don't know how some people can do 5 subjects while still having a part-time job. as if doing 4 subjects wasn't bad enough.

Really depends on what they're doing. Some subjects are just bludgey or it could have been that they have a firm understanding already and can pass without putting in much effort.

But if left up to me i wouldn't opt for 5 units

Yeah but how many credit points?
24 credit points this semester

then again it's the Conservatorium of Music....

Though I'd shoot anyone who said that what I was doing isn't hard though.

how many credit points does one usually do?
