As you become more responsible for your education, it becomes common to have to make your own decisions on scheduling classes. When thinking about scheduling your classes, you can have several decisions to make about how you want your timetable to look. You may have breaks between classes, and you may have days with nothing scheduled. This initially sounds like it gives you lots of free time, but you’ll quickly realize that you’re busier than ever because you have a lot more course work to do outside of class time. Sometimes for every hour of class time, you’ll have several hours of work to do on your own. This will vary slightly with different classes and may increase/decrease from week to week, but it gives you a rough idea. When scheduling classes, try to schedule them in blocks so that you’ll have larger blocks of “free time” to work on assignments. It’s really hard to get anything done when you only have an hour between classes. By the time you find a place to work and get settled, it’s time to pack up for the next class. If possible, try to make sure that consecutive classes are not located too far apart, unless you enjoy a 10 minute sprint (it’s more like an obstacle course, with everyone else changing classes too) with no time to refill your water bottle or to grab a coffee.
What is your scheduling strategy?

I think scheduling classes in “blocks” is only ok as long as they don’t exceed 4 hours. Otherwise your brain is no longer going to be able to actually understand what is being taught. So instead – depending on whether you live on campus or not – it might also be advisable to have a class before noon and then one in the afternoon.

Scheduling which classes are important and prioritizing them is as important as attending the class itself.

It’s too bad a class can’t run all day, and you go in on your time.

You may have breaks between classes, and you may have days with nothing scheduled.

I always try to schedule so I can fit as many classes into as few days as possible. I’d much rather have to get from class to class in a hurry and have plenty of time to work outside of class, then have two hour breaks and no free days.

Proper gap between 2 classes is crucial, it gives one proper time to remember what was taught in one, and get ready for the next.

A timetable is rigid and hence difficult to follow. Using some kind of scheduler is much better and convenient.

Comment by ast738 on February 24, 2013 at 6:45 am
I personally didn’t like scheduling in blocks, but liked to space out my classes with a couple of hours. That way I was on-campus and it was really too short a time to leave, so I would usually just stay and do some coursework. It helped me get more done.

Class Scheduling is one of the important strategy for a student to go on..In my view i schedule it by priority based on a subject..And there should be an half an hour gap between 2 hours.
