This is my timetable and I was wondering if there are any comments especially the lab right on the Monday morning.

1C03 lab isn't really a lab, you go in and you use Inventor (or whatever program they choose this year) to do your 3D modelling/assembling. So, 8:30 lab should be fine; I had mine at 8:30 and it wasn't an issue. On the other hand, your "modelling midterms" (you have 2 different kinds of midterms for the class: sketching and modelling) are scheduled during your lab time, so you'd have 8:30 Monday midterms, but they are the same as labs, just a little harder and you can't get help on them. Just for reference, I showed up half an hour late to my lab midterm because I slept in and they still let me do it (not that I advise this).

The other labs may be worse though, since they're also 8:30, but it depends on where your strengths lie. In general though, morning labs suck. But it's your call. Consider leaving one of them at 8:30 (since they're all 8:30's already) just so you can learn how potentially bad it is and avoid them like the plague for the rest of your McMaster life. :p

Definitely move those friday labs.

morning labs are bad as in you sleep in and miss it all or some part of the class or their ahrder to prep for?

Labs aren't classes, they're labs; meaning you go in, you do your experiment, hand in what you've done, and get marks for it (for physics and chem anyway). It's effectively 3 hours every other week you're being assessed on what you're supposed to have already learned in lecture. It could be bad as in you sleep in; for me, I knew I couldn't really miss labs so I got up for them all, but I was pretty tired. And doing work you're being marked on when you're tired = not fun, and a lot harder than it needs to be.

The prep for labs is a sheet of pre-lab questions, usually answered through stuff you should know from lecture and from reading through the lab procedure. These need to be handed in before you start your lab, or they're "supposed" to not let you do it (though I've never seen that rule enforced). They're also usually worth 10% of your mark for that lab, which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot, but hey, it's pretty much free marks. All this means for morning labs is that you'd have to remember to do it the night before, or get up even earlier to complete it.

Holy shit, your life is gonna suck on Thursday phew...
Especially since you actually HAVE TO go to those tutorials. I suggest moving some thing on that day. 9 hours worth of school is NOT something I would choose to have ever.
Also regarding the lab on Monday, I used to TA that lab last year, it is essential to be in that lab the first hour (8:30 to 9:30). So I wouldn't put it on a day I don't feel like getting up early for.
But you definitely have to change Thursday's layout, or else good luck have fun nice knowing you.
