Mock timetables are meaningless.. you could very easily get assigned a few key tutorials that would totally destroy your semester that you might not be able to change much. Overall it looks pretty typical! I do not miss first year!

Best be glad youre not in engineering then where a typical day has a minimum of three classes back to back to back. And it is not draining if you eat before class or bring a snack. Ive seen health scis schedules where they have one, maybe two classes a day and only three days of classes a week. Just going from how much of a course load i have as an engineering student, it scares me that the future doctors attend very little class in comparisson. and the arguement cant even be made that they study more than everyone else, because im pretty sure Thode is known as the engineering library for a reason. WE NEVER LEAVE THAT PLACE!

Good for you. You must feel so accomplished.

Two classes a day and only three days of classes a week? That would be what, like two courses? I've never seen a schedule like that and I'm in the program. I'll admit that in 4th year, due to the amount of elective space we have, there is the possibility of a light schedule in the occasion that someone doesn't take a full course load. But from what I've seen, most people will take the full course load, which would make two classes a day, three days a week impossible.

A little arrogant, aren't you? And wrong. Us "future doctors" typically go through 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, a few more years for residency depending on what the speciality is. That's typically 10+ years of class. On the other hand, don't most engineering students enter the workforce as soon as they get their degree?

The argument can also be made that it's called the "health sci" library for a reason. It's a stupid argument, but just to follow your baseless logic.

Maybe you should refrain from posting unless you have something relevant to say to the topic at hand.

I really don't like it when people think most engineers think like this, so I just wanted to say I think this guy is a pretentious twat.

Please refrain from the bashing. This is a "rate my timetable" thread, remember.

@Chris23

Oh wow. Aren't you special. *sarcasm*

But seriously, quit acting like an arrogant fool to students in other programs. This is why some programs hate us so much. Some science programs are pretty intense depending on the student's life dream.

Sincerely,
A disappointed, fellow Engineer.

Engineers have course overload for the reason; the difficulty of their courses is about the same or less compared to real science courses in 1st year and decreases as you move up. So stop ranting about course load and be glad you are in engineering as I am sure 10 engineers don't worth 1 math/physics specialist.
