This document evaluates the effective use of semester time blocks as approved by the Faculty Senate in November 2009. It highlights concerns regarding the 7:25 AM time block, which was intended for limited use but is now seeing increased demand in scheduling. The proposal specifies class lengths for MWF (55 minutes), TTh (80 minutes), and evening classes (80 minutes) with a 10-minute passing period. The Undergraduate Curriculum and Academic Policies Committee is urged to consider these factors for effective scheduling in the upcoming academic years.
