The Registrar’s Office has reassigned lab and\/or conference sections for several students. Please check your class schedule<\/b> this weekend<\/b> to see whether it has been affected. If changes were made, they were made for a reason. You must attend your assigned section for now (note: labs do not meet this week), but there is a small chance (described below) that you can change your section again.Students are re-assigned for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To avoid over-enrolling labs (these are capped at 24)<\/li>\n
  2. To avoid overcrowding in conferences (enrollments are equalized across sections)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Unfortunately, these very necessary reassignments must be made without any knowledge of your non-academic schedule. Therefore, you may find that your new schedule is incompatible with a job, a sports team, singing in the choir, and so on. What can you do?<\/p>\n

    Plan A.<\/b> I have precious little ability to meet requests for section changes. If you can possibly re-organize your schedule to make your new sections assignments fit, please please please … PLEASE reschedule your other time commitments.<\/p>\n

    Plan B.<\/b> If you absolutely cannot reorganize your schedule, there is a small chance that I can help you out. There are a couple of openings in each lab. No openings presently exist<\/i> in any of the conferences.<\/p>\n

    On Monday, I will collect the names of all students who absolutely need to change sections along with information about their current section assignment and their desired section. Later that day, I will figure out what I can do about lab requests (note: labs do not meet this week). I will also try to respond to conference requests by asking for “volunteers” who are willing to swap conference sections with students-in-need. Unfortunately, I can make no promises.<\/p>\n

    Whatever I come up with, please remember that you must attend your assigned section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
