Thanks to everyone who filled in the Doodle poll. It seems that the time slots currently scheduled for classes in DIT875 (Tuesdays 13-15 and Thursdays 13-15) are the worst possible slots for students. The best slots for students are Tuesdays 8-10, Wednesdays 8-10 and Thursdays 10-12. All of the students who are OK with the current schedule are also OK with these three slots, so would not be disadvantaged if we make changes.
The suggestion below has new class times from 20 September onwards.
Please let the course representatives know whether you support changing the schedule as proposed here. These changes will only be made if students agree to the changes, if the new times also work for John Hughes, and if alternative room bookings can be made.
