Spring 2022 Availability Forms | First-Year Writing

Your Information
Please review the Scheduling Memo (distributed via email) for the breakdown of the number of sections available for each course. Keep in mind that we now have one half of our courses scheduled “outside of prime time” (which runs Monday to Thursday 9:00–4:40).

Whatever your circumstances, we ask that you select at least one “off-peak” schedule that you could live with (i.e., outside of 9-4:40pm M/W or T/TH). This form is for the 3-credit Seminar sections of ENGL-1007, ENGL-1003, and the 4-credit section of ENGL-1004. The end of the form will direct you to filling out a separate Studio availability form for the 1-credit studio labs for ENGL-1007.

Rank section times

Below, we ask you to pick what your first, second, third, and fourth choice times are. While you are able to pick the same class session for all 4 choices, we ask that you pick at least two different times, at least one during an evening time slot.

If you do not give us enough options to select from when scheduling your course, you may be scheduled for a random time. Please give us a few times to work from. We appreciate your help in this regard as scheduling gets much more complex for our office.

Other Scheduling Factors
Which scheduling factor is most important to you?
- Days of the week (Time of day and course matter less than getting 1st choice of DAYS)
- Time of day (Days of week and course matter less than getting 1st choice of TIME of DAY)
- Course (Time of day and days of week matter less than getting 1st choice of COURSE)
Are there any other factors that affect your schedule preference?
Anything else we might try to consider? Note that if you’re being assigned two sections, please provide some clues about the relationship between the two meeting days/times (would you want them back-to-back on the same days or with a block of time between them [how long?]; or, do you want different days, or same course number, different course number, etc.). The availability of second courses for part-time instructors is dependent on enrollments and funding.
