Scheduling: What is the best way to arrange your classes?
I’m a little curious as to what others think, since I’m going to be going through this process myself on Thursday. What is the optimal college schedule? I’ll give you an example. Would you rather:
- Go three days a week (T/W/R) but have longer classes, possibly a night class on W? You’d get a four day weekend.
- Go two days a week and fit ALL your classes in (T/R). You’d get a four day weekend and Wednesday off as well.
- Go three days a week, have shorter classes and constant days off (M/W/F with T/R/S/Su off).
This semester I’m doing something very similar to the second option. I only have one class on M/W/F and it’s 50 minutes long. So it basically feels like I have the day off on those days. My T/R days suck, though. Five classes in a row and they’re 1 hr 15 min. long each. So you trade off in one area to improve in another. My question to you: which do you prefer?
