8.40am is first lecture and the last one finishes at 4.20pm. they are grouped in three sets of two hours, with a 20min coffee / cigarette break after period two and a one hour lunch break after period four. As for home study, well thats upto you are your own time management, but yeah two to three hours is about right, i try to go over what i've done that day at a ratio of 20 mins to half an hour per hour lecture but it doesn't always work out that way!
for example theory of !!!!e is such a pain in the backside I begging for the question bank, whereas stuff like dc electrics and hydraulics are fairly straight forward to revise.
thats just my system, i know one poor sod who spend every hour of the day on it including lunch! would drive me mental but if it works for him????
