Date: 2020-01-17 09:05 pm (UTC)I usually have exams for about 80% of my subjects, but probably no more than 40% of my total grades come from exam scores. The general impression I have is that "softer" subjects in inside a department tend to not have exams; for me that's "ethics for engineers" and for you that's "How to use Excel"?
You can also fit in an extra course over summer if there's one you need on offer, and theoretically you can over the winter break as well but in practise that time clashes with exams so unless your exams are all super early in the exam period it's a deathwish. I don't do either, which makes uni only really take up like 2/3rds of my year.
(All of this is somewhat factually untrue for this specific year since I'm only getting 3/4 credit for my study in norway thanks to shenanigans; also the norwegian university does things slightly differently)
~~~
It's honestly amazing how much some people can get done; correspondingly but not always overlappingly, it's horrifying how little some people do in their personal lives.
I think you'll be able to manage fulltime work! (Certainly you have a better chance than I do)
