Homework
While it is difficult to give precise guidelines for all subjects and courses, you will be expected to give in addition at least two thirds of the time spent in the classroom to your own work. This could include set homework, follow-up work to lessons, background reading and practical work. Some of this work may be done during the College day in the Library, Student Learning Centres and other places.
While part time paid work may be beneficial whilst you are at College, research and experience have shown that if you are to achieve the best grades possible it is important that you give priority to your College work above all other commitments. This means that the amount of time given to part time employment should be limited and any work should not interfere with College commitments.
