What an awful idea! It has been proposed in various forms at our college and never gained much traction. 75 minute classes are very useful for many courses. However, it makes a lot more sense to pair them as Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday. This allows a more even (3-4 day) interval of presention of material. Homework makes more sense if the days are more evenly spaced. Other courses benefit from 50 minute classes. Again, a M/W/F schedule will make for a more even presentation of material and time for homework assignments. Pedagogy should drive the schedule - not days off."LaMontagne, Bob" <RLAMONT@providence.edu> 9/23/2007 9:39 PM >>>
