    Everyone seems really laden down with work now!

    I got all of mine in the first week or two.
    Finishing up with a few of my modules for the semester before Easter, actually.

    I guess that's what happens when you do a "made up course" :rolleyes:

    I really wish I was you pikachucheeks. I still have so much to do, which I should probably be making a stab at now, rather than playing on boards. Oh well, I'm sure the procrastination helps.....

    Oh, it does!
    Everyone in my class is excellent at it and we all manage! :D

    How many exams do you have in May?

    My course is mainly CA based, so I only have three. (Usually have two though :()

    I have five exams this may, just because my dissertation is my sixth module. I have had six exams for every other set though.

    My CA's generally account for approximately 30% of my grades.

    I would love to have fewer exams. I'm sure I will get through them though, well I hope I do anyhow.

    Yeah, with the three exams I have, my CAs count for between 30 and 50 %

    Better than having an exam worth 100%, even if it is more work during the semester!

    In general though, my course is terrible for the workflow - we'll have literally nothing to do for weeks, then ALL of our lecturers will give us CAs due in for in-or-around the same day.

    My course has a pretty steady workflow. In other words, I'm cnstantly bogged down with work.

    I have at times been unable to sleep for weeks on end worrying about the work load. I even try to get things out of the way early, so I'm generally not leaving things to the very last minute.

    Less stressful that way!
