T DS home/DD kindy so i do shopping and a big cook up (usually a curry or slowcooker meal) and do 2-3 hrs of reading while I eat lunch/DS sleeps
W on campus 9-3 every second week, alternate weeks I go to the gym, do 2ish hours study and the housework
T on campus 9-3 every second week, alternate weeks I do 4ish hours study, plus any assignments and the housework
F on campus 1week a month. DD at kindy till 12 and DS home so study 1-2 hours and review lectures
S Gym, lunch in town with kids then work 6-12

I did a BEd at Griifith Uni in Brisvegas (finished in 2001, so a long time ago now), but my experience:

Full time uni was 12 contact hours a week - 3 hrs per subject. You were supposed to put in another 2 hrs at home 'studying' for every hour spent at uni - thus the full time thing. We had prac from second semester - two week blocks each semester plus one day a week until final year, which was four weeks. I also did a 6 week internship to finish. I found the 12 hours per week was 'conveniently' spread over 3-4 days per week, with a typical day being a 2 hour lecture, a 2 hour break then a 1 hour tutorial.
