How to plan the perfect class schedule 

 

     When planning for the class schedule, people look for different things. Depending on their style, students' priorities will vary greatly from wanting to take numerous classes in one day, and not go to school for a few days, or wanting to even out the classes throughout the week. Even with varying preferences there are three underlining factors that must be considered when planning a class schedule: the quality of the professor, what time the class is, and how far apart the classes are. 

 

     First, finding a good professor is crucial in succeeding. Even if the class is in the morning, and the classes may be really far apart, if it is a good professor, it is a class that one must take. Likewise, if the professor is bad, all of the other factors do not matter. Unless one has to take classes at a certain time because they have to work, it is highly recommended to prioritize finding a good professor. When finding good professors, it falls to two categories. There are professors that give good grades, and professors that can really teach. It is important to find a balance between the two professors, and avoid professors that do not give a good grade, but can not teach either. The professors that give good grades is crucial for balancing one's grade. A university is a place where people learn new things, and improve their knowledge. For this reason, strict professors that may not give the highest scores but can teach well is recommended. However, only taking educational classes may be harmful for the grade. Only taking easy courses that give good grades may be beneficial when trying to get a job. Yet, it will not fully prepare someone to manage the job. Thus, it is important to know, and take courses of both professors that can teach well, and that give good grades. If one is taking nine courses, the recommended ratio is six courses that are easy, and three courses where one can really learn.

 

     Another important factor to consider while registering for courses is the time of the class. There are students who work best in the morning, and students who prefer working at night. Depending on what time one prefers, whether to choose morning classes or afternoon classes differ. The first thing to consider is how long it takes from the house to school. If the distance is longer than ten minutes, it highly discouraged to take classes at nine in the morning. The next thing to consider is how many courses you are taking. If it is more than two, going to school from the morning can be very tiring. 

 

     The last thing to keep in mind during course registration is how far apart the class is. If there is more than a two hour gap between the classes, and one lives far away from school, it can be troublesome. Not only is it tiring to stay in school for a long time, but it is also hard to use the empty time wisely.

 

 

     Class registration is a difficult task that decides how the rest of the semester will be. By following my advice, the whole semester can be a breeze.

  1. You have all your content outline on the thesis. Also, you excellently lined them orderly along the three body paragraphs using logical connectors. However, I think the whole content is becoming too weaker and shorter as the essay goes on. As you can see, the first body paragraph is very strong and consists almost half of the whole essay. Other two paragraphs, on the other hand, gets shorter, which kind of breaks the balance of the essay. To improve this, you should add more contents to other two body paragraphs.
    It was an interesting essay, thak you for writing.
