Workload

Coloured Line

An average of ten hours per week (including contact hours) is a reasonable workload for a 6 units course.

This means that you should allocate some 140 hours to COMP1100 over the semester.
(There are no contact hours during the lecture break.)

Suggested Allocation of Hours

Activity	Hours
Attendance at lectures	30
Preparation for tut/lab sessions	10
Attendance at tut/lab sessions	10
Assignments	30
Self-study	60

Scheduled contact hours: 40
Additional hours: 100

coloured Line

If you just attend for the contact hours, the chances of your getting a Good Grade in this course are Very Slim.

If you do not attend for the contact hours, the chances of your getting a Good Grade in this course are Slim.

However, putting in an immense number of hours does not guarantee a Good Grade, especially when the work in those hours is not planned to achieve sensible goals.
