Oxbridge has a "Tutorial/Supervisions system" where you and 2-3 other students meet with a faculty member every week, and you receive direct feedback and critiques on written assignments (typically essays).
I've never participated in these systems, but what's struck me about them is that you have to come prepared not only with a finished essay, but you have to explain and defend them like you would a thesis. In high frequency.
Hours reminded me of this, but on a much more informal level. In both, you have to come prepared (at least, in the Hours system it's to your benefit).
