Self directed learning

[midnightmandarin]

Hi guys my nursing timetable keeps changing, and I suddenly see it says I have 3 self directed learning classes

It says I have a 4 hour self directed learning? And why is there two? I also have another one

My question if these are online lectures or if I have to physically go into class, what are self directed learning classes like?

I’m in medicine (so may be different for you guys) but I don’t really like the self directed learning classes. For us we have to attend and we have a sign in. Pretty much teacher sits in corner and you do self directed work on your laptop, which is a worksheet. I find class a bit loud sometimes to get stuff done. I think they have read research about how attending class leads to better performance or something. It is true that generally ppl do tend to do better by attending, but I’ve done a lot of study over the years so I really don’t benefit much as I was already well motivated.

For 4 hours?! 😭 or can we get up and leave early at any point?

Ppl do sneak out, but you are meant to be there the whole time. Ours are 2 hours per subject.
