The Corrupted Wish Game

[Jeunemaitre]

I wish I had more than 15 minutes to get from one class to the next.  Don't go relocating my classes on me, now; you can be more creative than that.

Vashj, haven't you and I done this "more time to get to class"- thing before? Something about getting to a lab, and you ending up as the only one who was allowed to be late and getting sabotaged by the other folks in that session. So you want a new angle huh? Okay...

In order to accommodate numerous student requests, your university has chosen to modify it's schedule such that now classes in the same department will be given at 1 of two times, with the second being not less than an hour after the conclusion of the previous class. For example, all classes in physics will be two hours long, and start at either 8:30 AM or 11:30 AM, while all classes in math (also 2hrs long) will start at either 1:00 PM or 4:00PM. Where's the corruption you ask? Well, in order to accommodate the higher number of classes that meet at the same time, all sections of one course will meet together (200 person lab sessions :o ), and additional staff are hired in order to teach the other classes (since professors are not able to teach multiple courses as they used to). Also bowing to student requests, tuition is not raised to hire additional faculty members, which means: the percentage of courses lead by TA's balloons to 85%. Everything below a 450 level course (where I went, the 400s were generally intended for begin 2nd semester junior year, with 450 or higher intended for senior year) is handled by a TA, and not just graduate students, but undergraduates are hired as TAs, so some of those 205 intro chem classes are being taught by sophomores who just had the class last year. Hope things work out for you now that you can take your time getting from one class to the other...

I wish I could find an outlet for my creative energies.
