Title: Night classes at uni?
Post by: killer_bot on April 09, 2012, 06:46:48 pm

For undergraduate courses is it common to have the option of doing a class/tutorial at night?
Or is this more common for post-grad courses?

Do any unis operate at night at undergrad level?


thanks

Definitely for postgraduates since some courses need to accommodate for working professionals.

For undergrads, very rarely during the normal semesters I believe.

Never really seen this in any of the timetabling options for the various subjects. You can get a tute/lectures that run late, last year i had a astro lab 5-6pm (not particularly because it was astro and it was dark, it was just that it was scheduled then...never used telescopes or even went outside...all calculations). I don't know if you consider that a night class.

IF you try really hard you can hopefully swing your labs and tutes as late as possible. For undergrads though, id imagine there isnt a strong enough demand. They'd get relatively few people and end up canceling the class anyway.
