<p>LOL. D's looking for a diffyQ class in periods 4 or 6 for spring semester. Everything's closed, except period 10, which she selected to just get into a class. Who would put a diffq class at 5pm on a Friday? Yuck!</p>
<p>Actually. Seriously. If she's not able to switch sections during drop/add, has anyone had experience just showing up at a class and trying to get an over-ride from a prof? Or is it best to approach the teacher prior to the class starting? </p>

<p>If she keeps checking often, she’ll eventually find an open spot in an earlier period. People change around their schedules all the time, and spots open frequently.</p>
<p>10th period calc really wasn’t that bad prior to turning the clocks back. I mean, it’s not like it was even dark at that point (it is now though). And it’s not like you’re going out anywhere at 5pm.</p>
<p>A spot will open up during drop-add. Your daughter will need to be patient. Plus, it could get a lot worse. I once had a lab from 7-10pm.</p>
<p>It’s not the 5pm time, particularly, except for on Fridays. Sometimes she drives home for the weekend, and that makes her much later. And she’s not a class skipper, especially a math class that tends to give quizes/tests on Friday. Yeah, we’ll keep looking and watching after semester grades come out. I’m sure there are some who aren’t doing as well in Calc 3 as they’d like and might have to take it again. But I was wondering … do profs do over-rides? Just in case …</p>

<p>They generally don’t have that type of control of the class. The dept is in-charge of stuff like that and generally their response will be no. Spots will show up. I always got classes I wanted. You just have to search and wait long enough.</p>
<p>^^^
Thanks for the info. Patient and persistant people we are. :)</p>

<p>why isn’t your daughter asking these questions? she’s the one attending school at florida.</p>
<p>wow.</p>
<p>She’s not a part of this forum; I am. She’s doing things on her own and figuring it out on her own. I, in turn, ask a lot of questions … my way, and sometimes I learn things from people who are articulate and reasonable and helpful. (And, then in turn, on the forums I’m on … I answer questions that I know for others who have questions) I don’t do her scheduling for her; she’s already done that. I just touch base with what I learn … and sometimes I know something she doesn’t. </p>
<p>Snarky, lately? Geesh!</p>

<p>Yes, check isis often. I was in the exact same situation and was able to switch to a better time period (and prof).</p>
