<p>So i have a gap hour free, MoWeFr 10-11 and was thinking of putting a class there. My dorm and my first class(freshman writing from 9-10) are on opposite sides of the campus, and then my class at 11 is close to my first class. </p>
<p>In the class description for the class I want to add, the room is TBA, so my question is has anyone had the problem where they had to travel far to your next class? The class i want to add is a lit class so would that mean it'd be near English buildings?</p>
<p>Also, the class is based on short stories, and its a lecture, and it has 8 people currently enrolled. The class fits pretty nice in my schedule, but I'm really concerned about where it will be and 8 people in a lecture might be a little awkward.</p>
<p>We have a “7 minute rule” - the classes don’t start on the hour, they start 7 minutes past (but they say they start on the hour) - so that you don’t have to worry about it.</p>
<p>No idea if your school has something like that- it may be better to ask this in your schools board (or your classes facebook group).</p>
<p>How far is the English building from the building of your other two classes? And how much time do you have in between classes? For example, a 10-11 class at my college would actually run from 10:10 to 11:00, giving us 10 minutes to go to the next room. How big is your campus anyway? At my college you could walk from any point to any other point in 10 minutes. Other campuses might have buildings several miles apart.</p>

There’s a good chance that it will be a discussion-based class rather than a lecture. But even a lecture with 8 people wouldn’t be awkward. I have had lecture classes with 4 and 7 students before. 7 students was fine but 4 was slightly awkward, especially when people had (or chose) to miss class.</p>
<p>This has happend to me the last 2 years. My school’s scheduling sucks (community college) and every semester its hard to get the classes in i need. one semester i even had a 3 hour break between classes where i would eat, read, etc. when i had no money i would go for walks through the ghetto and black kids would make fun of me. i tried to make my day worth it and took 5 or 6 classes per semester that way my time in class could outweigh or equal my time waiting for the next class to start… i hope this never happens again in such an extreme…</p>
<p>"8 people in a lecture might be a little awkward. "</p>
<p>Less is actually better. Professors take pity on your grades when you’re a name and not a number.</p>
<p>At my school you always have 10 minutes to get to class (enough unless you have to walk all the way across campus). And a lot of the time classes are stuffed in random buildings, not what you’d expect. (I’ve had tons of math classes spread all over when we have a math building).</p>
<p>we’re given 15mins between blocks of classes on MoWeFr
the school is about 1500 acres
the distance between my 9:15 and 11:15 is about 1250feet
I don’t know the distance between the 9:15 class and the one around 10 since i dont know the second location
I’m worried about the small classes because of potential curves, and that the majority of my classes will and have been 30+, during high school it was mainly 12 close people in the same classes, and now i have like 30-300 per class</p>
<p>–also just found another class, its at the same time, its in the same building as my first class, i think it’ll be more interesting, but its only 3 credits and i need 4 credits to fulfill the GenEd req. so ill have to take another class in the same category… This class also says it requires 8books totaling about $80 tho</p>
<p>Teachers tend to treat you better when they actually know your name and only having 8 classmates will make it really easy to network with them and possiblly form a study group.</p>
<p>I totally agree with Marco117. I also wanted to add that I have never heard of a small class getting curved: the professor will know you individually and decide on a per-case basis what grade each of you have earned.</p>
<p>Agreed with Marco117 and b@r!um. If there are 8 other people, it may be listed as a lecture but it will likely be more of a discussion of the topic. I took my freshman writing seminar with about 15 other people, and we had presentations, lectures, discussions, and small group projects. I say sign up for the class.</p>
<p>And just because a class is a certain subject doesn’t mean it will be held in a certain place. At my school, science classes are all held in our Science Center, but a lot of humanities classes are in different buildings. My intro to philosophy class is in our engineering building.</p>
