SCHEDULING PRACTICES (CLASS LENGTH, TIMES AND DAYS)
S 87-1
| WHEREAS, | Scheduling practice of many years standing at SJSU is
to have classes in 50 minute periods beginning at 07 30
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and 75 minute classes
beginning at 08 00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and |
| WHEREAS, | This practice allows maximum use of classrooms on a
very crowded campus; and |
| WHEREAS, | Deviation from this practice, especially on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, reduces the number of classrooms
needed during prime time morning hours; and |
| WHEREAS, | Deviations also deny classes to students, especially
where there is overlap in time, thus making it difficult
for students to complete graduation requirements in a
reasonable time; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, | That departments and schools schedule only 50 minute
classes from 07 30 through 12 20 on Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, | That exceptions be allowed for laboratory classes and selected graduate seminars; any other exceptions must be approved by the Office of the Academic Vice President. |
