Many students have expressed frustrations over the structure of their timetables. Two improvements to the timetable, which students suggested would improve attendance, were classes being less spread out over too many days in a week and big gaps between classes on a single day.

“Because the lectures are mostly an hour or two a day, it means that I have to take a bus for that hour and then go back. Why not put most lectures on one or two days?”

“I try and make it to all scheduled sessions, but when seminars are just scheduled for an hour I find it hard to justify the travel expenses.”

“Make hours more accessible! Not so spread out. Rather have a few hours all at once than spread out”

“Fewer 9am lectures”
