    I actually passed the test that they had here in Sweden, but I declined because I didn't know what that program would bring to me.

    And I am glad that I didn't enter that program to be honest...

    Physics (Monday Wednesday Friday): Read forty-seven pages of the textbook and take notes where you see fit. Now do these three problems which, combined, take more time than the reading.

    Calculus (MWF): Average, about ten problems. Time: about two hours.

    Linear Algebra(Tuesday Thursday): Average, about fifteen problems. Time: about one hour.

    Geology (TTh): Read the textbook in the relevant spots, and we'll discuss it next class.

    Linear Algebra Lab (Th): Lab Write-up / Lab, depending on how much you got done during class.

    Geo Lab (F): Lab write-up.

    This is my average homework week:

    Monday - Technology and humanities (geography,RE and history combined)
    Tuesday - Media and drama
    Wednesay - Maths and Science
    Thursday - French
    Friday - English and 'Create'

    I went back to school today and the teachers made us revise our schedules so we wouldn't forget our homework. Me? forget my homework? :rolleyes: :p

    If you get no homework and have five days worth of lessons in only one day, then your school must not teach very much at all.

    Ehh... it varies. For the most part, though, the load isn't unreasonably heavy, although it can pile up pretty quickly ... miss more then a day's worth of assignments, and you're going to spend the next few weeks struggling to play catch-up. Although if I ever hear the words "critical thinking" again, it'll be too soon. Our school's been trying to concentrate on that this year, which isn't a bad idea in theory (I can think of a number of students who could certainly use the help), but.... well, when you're having to think of seventeen different ways to analyze the purpose of solving 6x=3 and *then* being asked to question those analyzations, comb them for assumptions, draw conclusions, and reflect on why you're doing it in the first place, it can get more then a little tedious. Plus, I'm taking pre-AP courses, so most of my teachers subscribe to the "all work and no play" lifestyle (and none of them seem to realize that we have six other homework loads to deal with besides theirs, and only so many hours in a day @_@).

    Believe it or not I get the occasional piece of work to do at home. The other day I got an evaluation form that I'm supposed to fill out, to show what I think of my store manager. I probably won't bother, it's kept so confidential they probably won't hound me to do it. :p

    I will say that tests are not gone forever when you graduate. We get one every month. Although they're ludicrously easy questions about things like customer service, sanitation, and food safety and the like. These are the kinds of tests that, if you fail, then there's something seriously wrong, because you can answer every question with simple common sense.

    That and phantom shoppers. You get evaluated based on how well you serve them. You start getting bonuses when you get a lot of 100% shops. I've been shopped three times since I started 14 months ago, all 100%.

    Anyway, let this be a lesson. The world of tests, grades, and homework is not gone when you graduate... it's just made ludicrously easy. :p

    I'm in college, so we don't really get any home-work other then assegnments every so often that go towards our final grade. It is a good idea to study and do some of the class work at home or at night, since it really is the only proper way to get things done on time, but your the one that has to make the decision to do it.

    Hmm, if homework, is work you bring home, I do it so often. Good thing I'm only teaching one class this semester, but I usually create all my handouts, rubrics, and project ideas at home. When I had 3 classes at once, and it was french immersion, I'd spend ALL night translating and making stuff for the following days, it was nuts. They complained they had too many projects, but I gave them enough class time to work on it, most times they did nothing during class so it became homework, ne?

    Yeah, you shouldn't. I'm in college and staying in the city to get my work done instead of going home for Canadian Thanksgiving, and this is nowhere near the heaviest amount of work in the semester.

    Let's just say that I get up at 6:30 AM and go straight until 1:00 AM every day with few breaks and I'm still behind in my classes. I'm starting to see aliens, they're everywhere...

    I'm going home for Thanksgiving though, but I'll still be trying to catch up with writing papers there.
