Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I just talked to the college enrollment personnel of the registrar's office this morning. She told me that the acting dean had allowed for four more students to be added to the two existing sections of the general science requirement mechanics lab classes, which are supposed to have only a maximum of twenty students each - shades of the start of last term.

But then, last term, there were fifty students in the lab total, and their division was further complicated by four students moving from one section to the other, making a very uneven twenty-one to twenty-nine student split between them.

So I was well within reason to divide them into two fifteen-population sections and one with twenty students in all, since that still left five members to a group maximum - an acceptable number.

That was also because we were able to acertain that there was a three hour slot where the lab was open and that the students were free.

This time, I will have to check these conditions again if they are all favorable.

As it stands, if I divide these students into three sections, there would be roughly fourteen to fifteen students in each class.

I don't know how this matches with what the registrar's personnel told me about there being fifty six students enrolled in the lecture class. Could these be the last throw outs who passed either the lecture or the lab and failed the other, back when the grades given were still separate?

That would mean that this is the last slacker batch who are now supposed to be going for their practicum, who waited until the last minute to take these non-major subjects of theirs.

All the more reason for me to be more strict with their requirements.

Session 1621 put off certain subjects failed in to the last terms of their stay in school, instead of taking them immediately afterwards while their learning is still "fresh". Class dismissed.
