The University is considering scheduling science courses to avoid the "perennial" scheduling conflicts that now face science concentrators, who need to take courses "in a certain order," Deborah Hughes Hallet, coordinator for science advising, said yesterday.
Hallet said she is "trying to see whether it is possible" to work out such a plan, which would include such variables as available rooms, laboratories and equipment.
The Faculty Council decided last week that if she is successful, the University will ask science departments to offer their courses at given times. When it is possible, departments now offer courses at the time the professor prefers.
