<p>For example, if you're a morning person, can you ask the person that makes up the schedules (who is that, by the way?) to try to get you into classes that are early in the day? </p>
<p>What about if the same course -- Intro to Bio, for example -- is taught by professor ABC and professor XYZ concurrently? If you hear that XYZ is bad, can you request to be placed with ABC?</p>
<p>In college you get a schedule with all the information about every course - who teaches it, when and where it meets, and how many students can enroll. Every section of every course has an individual number. In order to sign up for courses, usually you have to sit down with your advisor and go over what you're planning on taking. Then you enter your own schedule, online. So if you want to avoid Professor XYZ, or if you can't be out of bed before 10, you don't have to sign up for those courses - unless all your other options fill up.</p>
<p>If you go to the registrar's website for the schools you're looking at, you can see what the master schedules look like. For example: Oberlin</a> College Courses, Fall 2007. The information changes each year, of course, but you can still get an idea of what the offerings and schedules are like.</p>
<p>Thanks! That was VERY helpful!!! One more question for ya... What does the "R" stand for? LOL For example, a class will be held on MTR? Last time I checked, there wasn't a day of the week that began with R....</p>
