Should I avoid creating a timetable with too many difficult classes on the same day?
If possible, it is generally better not to concentrate too many difficult classes on the same day. The preparation, review, and assignments after class may overlap, and fatigue can build up. However, the best arrangement depends on your commuting time, other commitments, strengths and weaknesses, and the workload of each course.
Key points
- Consider not only how difficult a class seems, but also its preparation, review, and assignment workload.
- You may find the schedule easier to manage by placing lighter classes or breaks between demanding ones.
- Before registering, check the syllabus and timetable for assessment methods, assignments, and attendance requirements.
Things to check
- Class schedules and registration constraints vary by university, faculty, and academic year, so check the official registration guidance and syllabi.
