That number includes lectures and scheduled workshop / lab sessions. There is a project, but I haven't done anything on it so far, and have no real plans to start until March... As for independent / outside lecture study, others do it, but I mostly sit with them, drink tea, do sudoku, and give them a hand with theirs if they need it.
Total - 15-20 hours at a push. This is a great big piece of piss. What I remember from work, on the other hand, was having to be out of bed and in work, reasonably presentable, <not still pissed from last night>, at the allotted time (fortunately 10am). Then actually functioning and talking to people reasonably for the next 9 hours (included lunch break) and being able to think through various tasks (like not blowing the factory up).
after the break i can have up to 21 hours of class to attend to. spread over 5 days. and most weeks it'll probably come down to 17 or 19 hours.
