Timetable Advice
Hey guys, I made two mock timetables, can you give me your opinion on which one you prefer? (I didn't put Psych in it yet, but I think I'll throw it in somewhere on Monday)

I know I may not get this exact same timetable, and that'll be okay with me. I avoided the 8:30 classes.

Thanks!

Timetable 1
- Pro: get to wake up at 10:30 instead of 9:30, only 1 class on Friday
- Con: I end later

Timetable 2
- Pro: I end earlier, more time to myself
- Con: I have to wake up for 9:30 classes, my Wednesday might be a little heavy but I'm sure I can do it

EDIT:

I'd choose timetable one as well. You only have one extra class on Fridays when you compare it to timetable two, but you end earlier every day. You would be at school for most of the day on Friday regardless of which timetable you choose, so I'd pick the one that frees up more time overall.

Thanks guys! Like angoose said, I'm leaning towards timetable two because there's only one extra class on Friday and I end on the same time, and I think I have more free time throughout the week and I like ending earlier lol.

A bigger factor maybe who teaches Chem 1A03 Core 3 or Core 4 lol

I would be split up too in your position, they're both good depending on what you're looking for. First off are you on res or off campus? Since going to classes is easier if you live on res. Secondly, can you wake up? I thought I could wake up to some classes, some I ended not going.. lol. Answering this question determines if you should pick the one with earlier classes. Many people like having "fridays" off which isn't a bad idea if you want to relax/go out/go home etc. To me I like table 2 a bit more since I like having classes back to back. This ensures I don't have silly short gaps inbetween classes cause I never get anything accomplished (productive or non productive) referring to the gap between chem/econ in table 1. This leads me back to the question of, can you always get up for morning classes? Unless there are other cores you could try playing around with your time table more.

Yes after SOLAR opens. What this person did was a mock timetable to figure out the cores/tutorials they wanted.

LOL you just took the words out of my mouth

I'm living on res, but I'm pretty sure I can wake up at 9:30, I would like 10:30 better, but I don't want to be waiting for my Econ class after Chemistry and stuff.

And I also like having back to back classes, I'd rather have a large break than several small breaks.

Thanks for your help!

I prefer longer blocks of classes at a time, but is it advisable to take an hour break from 11:30-12:30 everyday for lunch?
