DS18 in week 3 of uni (don't really want to say where yet) studying environmental science has just got his full timetable. Course was described as 12-12 hours lectures + up to 15 practical per week. His time table for first semester avarages 5 lectures per week ie 5 hours + 4 hours practical.
He is very disappointed.
Is this how unis really run? Have nothing to compare it with. Would be very grateful for any help/advice, since this course was started with very high hopes and is being financed with difficulty.
Thanks.
