Quiz Time Conflicts

[chengdang]

Hey Chris:

I have classes scheduled on every Monday/Wednesday from 5:30 - 6:30PM. So this updated time slot doesn't work for me. If there are more people with similar issue, would it be possible to change it again? Thank you!

@cd-github Thank you for your input.

Based on other responses it looks like schedules conflicts will be minimized with a 6:30pm - 7:00pm PST quiz window. I definitely do not want to make it any later because for the east coast students this window looks like 9:30pm - 10:00pm.

An announcement will be sent shortly.

See https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1038251/discussion_topics/3286041 for the announcement on time changes for the quiz.

Hey Chris,

(Posting here due to your most recent announcement)

Sorry to be that guy but I can't make the current quiz times. I couldn't make the ones before that, either. I have a class from 430PM-650PM Mon and Weds that is required for me to graduate at the end of this quarter.

I could feasibly take the quizzes DURING class, but that might interfere with learning / exams in that class would be a problem.

Please advise.
Thank you,

I too still have a bit of conflict; I work on a 2nd shift schedule, from 2 PM to 10 PM. I take lunch from 7:00 to 7:30 PM, so I might be able to take quizzes during that time...

Hi Chris. I appreciate the accommodation for the EDGE students. I travel quite a bit for work and will be on a plane during at least two of the quiz times (4/4 and 4/18). Can we make other arrangements?

[cswiercz]

Please see the most recent announcement regarding the change in quiz times. Hopefully this will work for everyone. The new times are shown in the syllabus.

Hi Chris,

I have classes and activities scheduled from 1:30pm-7:30pm on Mondays, so the new time still doesn't work well for me. Worst case, I could back out of the group activity I'm part of later in the day, but I'd much prefer not having to do that... A later time would work better for me, 8:30pm maybe? Or perhaps the quizzes could be available on weekends instead? Sundays or something? I wonder if Sunday during the current hours you set would work well for people?

[rktaylor]

While the current time does work for me, I do agree that weekends might be
a good idea. Like Sunday evening. But some folks might be working then...
Maybe send out a when 2 meet to see who has conflicts?

I hate to be "that guy" but with the 5PM Sun-5PM Mon quiz time it might be tough if we've got weekend plans that extend through Sunday evening and then have to go to our (especially EDGE folks) 9-5 jobs the next day. Having the time extend to 6-7 PM Monday night would be helpful.

@bplilley Good point.

New proposal: Sun 5pm - Tue 5am (36 hour period)

[rktaylor]

36 hour window sounds good with me!

[rktaylor]

To be fair that was a pretty creative April Fools. You really scared the crap out of me for a good twenty minutes.

[cswiercz]

@rktaylor I hope the class has a good sense of humor.

[nicksmithc102]

I rather liked that proposal actually
