<p>Alrighty I am registered for a lab and then a developmental psych class which starts 10 mins after the lab ends, now the buildings are very close to each other, however I am wondering if those with experience think this will be a problem? And is study time in between these classes really necessary? Thanks all for the help</p>
<p>Study time between classes can actually be a negative. You'll put things off saying you'll do it before the class and end up scrambling to get it done.</p>
<p>unless the lab notoriously runs late, this is not an issue</p>
<p>I don't think it will be a problem. There are always exceptions (and that's one reason for the add/drop period), but people manage this sort of thing every semester.</p>
<p>doesnt the college have to give you enough time to get from class A to class B?? there isnt anything you can really do about location...</p>
<p>Studying between classes is productive maybe if you have at least half an hour in between. You'll never do any productive studying in ten minutes, no matter how close the two classrooms are.</p>
<p>Ten minutes is more than enough if the two buildings are close, unless the lab instructor makes a practice of holding you late. However, you should have enough time to get to your second class even if you're held five minutes late.</p>

<p>No, they don't. My college only gives five minutes between classes, and my first class of the day would always run over by 5-10 minutes. One of my professors had a tendency to actually overrun by half an hour or more at least once a week.</p>
<p>half an hour??? i guess its ok for the laggers but man thats really unprofessional.</p>

<p>It happens a lot in smaller departments in upper level classes.</p>
<p>10 minutes is fine. I would say that more than half my classes in college were back to back, with 10 minutes in between.</p>
<p>I have never experienced a class run over more than a couple minutes. One got to 5 minutes, someone raises their hand, and the professor apologizes and immediately dismisses class. There is another issue of clocks not being synchronized around campus, but that is usually only a minute or so, but sometimes you need 10 minutes and 8 doesn't cut it.</p>
<p>You'll be fine.</p>
<p>Hmm, I guess I'm just not a fan of risking it. I had a lab (and many different professors) and 4/5 of them volunteered to stay after lab to check over our results. It was great for those of us without a class right after, but the ones that did sort of got the short end of the stick. There were also a few times that people had to stay past the end of class to finish the experiment.</p>
<p>Most of the time, labs will end early, so that shouldn't be a problem most times. Since the buildings are close, 10 minutes should be exactly right should the lab end at the said time.</p>
<p>I have a couple classes that are about 15 mins apart across campus (lectures.) I timed it walking quick and it was about 11 mins but with my bike I imagine I should make it comfortably. It'll be a bummer in the rain (yay florida- I'll be stuck with all the other walkers!) but I think the classes were worth having. Comforting to hear most professors don't take endtimes too leisurely.</p>
<p>That will be fine.</p>
