class schedule
Students are expected to do at least two hours of outside-of-class work for every hour of class or at least five hours of work for every regularly scheduled day of class. Plan accordingly. Formal class instruction begins immediately on the first day of classes, Monday, January 7th, 2008.
Students should check class schedules carefully. Most classes meet four days a week, on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday schedule OR a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday schedule for classes beginning at 2:45 PM. In the week of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday every year, all regularly scheduled on-campus classes will meet on a Tuesday through Friday schedule.
Note that classes may have midterm or final exams scheduled on the weekday which the class does not normally meet.
Note that classes may require off-campus field trips or outside-of-classtime attendance at events on campus.
Also note that the January Tem Committee regards the viewing of feature length films (as well as listening to musical performances and viewing TV or theatre productions, etc.) as analogous to the reading of books -- as work to be done in preparation for class rather than as part of class time. Hence, many classes will schedule communal film viewing sessions outside of normal class time. Other classes might accommodate this by beginning at 8:00 AM or extending class time by more than an hour.
