It’s that time of year again. Time to start registering for spring classes. And some colleges are doing something a little different and offering midnight courses. Is this something Ole Miss should try? Reporting for 271-TV News I’m Olivia Rearick.
Discussion classes are loud and lecture halls are full. Some students say it’s difficult to make a convenient schedule and several think as enrollment increases so should the number of sections for courses.
Sophomore, education major, Casey Losee says in her own words, “I need to space them out, so there needs to be a lot more options when it comes to having class times.”
But what if Ole Miss decided to offer midnight courses to help with this problem? Other colleges nation wide are finding midnight classes are beneficial to students with children and inflexible jobs.
Assistant Director of Enrollment Services, Jenny Kate Luster, says, “The more you can give them flexibility in terms of their schedule and when they can offer classes is a good thing. However, I’m not sure that would really work for some of our faculty members that obviously work eight to five for the most part. But, for the student perspective, it probably would be a good thing.”
Not only would it be difficult to find professors to teach these courses, but it might be hard to get students to sign up. When told about midnight courses, I received mixed reviews from several students.
Sophomore, business major, Elizabeth Harris says, “I personally wouldn’t go to a midnight course unless it was a ghost hunters themed course then I’d be there like, I can’t even think of an analogy right now that’s how, I’d be there”
Losee says, “Absolutely not. I’m too busy. I need sleep.”
It’s unclear if Ole Miss is considering midnight courses. But, one thing is for sure, if courses keep filling up this quickly, additional classes may be needed. Reporting for 271-TV News I’m Olivia Rearick
