  1. April 26,2010 Time block implementation

  2. The demand for Smart Rooms has increased with each semester. The demand for Computer Labs has also increased. More classes competing for specialized classroom space. Challenges to room scheduling

  3. The three-day per week existing time blocks currently ends at 2:00 PM. We have expanded them to meet until 3:55 PM. This allows instructors who need to utilize a three-day per week schedule to have a wider variety of times to offer their classes. • An analysis of the students attending School of Education classes indicated that the greatest majority of those students taking three-hour classes were still coming to campus two nights per week. If the faculty member chooses, the new schedule allows for them to follow a two-day per week pattern if it’s suitable to the course content. • May improve graduation rates by eliminating time conflicts for classes needed by students to graduate. Benefits of new time blocks

  4. Spring2011 Day Time Blocks

  5. Spring2011 Evening Time Blocks

  6. Spring2011 Graduate School Evening Time Blocks

  7. May only be used for those Graduate School programs whose students need only take courses in the one department. May not be used if the Graduate Program necessitates that the students take courses outside of their department. For each course taught as a one-day course in a (G) time slot, a second course needs to be offered on the complimentary day. (I.E. Tuesday requires Thursday) Restrictions for (G) Evening Blocks

  8. Attempts will be made by the department to utilize the surrounding time blocks (4:30 to 5:45 or 8:45 to 9:55) for two-day per week classes. Restrictions for (G) Evening Blocks

  9. Begin with courses offered in the Spring 2011 semester. Materials will be prepared for distribution for the SP11 initial course offerings and will be sent to all Department Chairs during the first week in May 2010. Course offerings using the new time blocks will be due by the second week of September 2010. Implementation timeline
