| Abstract | The distribution of course start times throughout the day at Arizona State University was analyzed to improve classroom utilization at a large urban university. Departments responsible for peak period utilization were also identified, and students were surveyed to determine interest in taking courses outside the peak period. It was found that academic departments were independently scheduling a disproportionately large number of course sections in a relatively small span of morning time periods. One reason given by departments for morning scheduling was student preference. A total of 400 students were questioned about whether they preferred courses in the morning, afternoon, or evening, and why. Subsequent analysis of department course offerings scheduled during these peak hours identified key departments able to adjust their scheduling time without disrupting course availability. In the first year after the peak hours report was presented to the academic deans, a significant decrease in peak period class scheduling occurred. Departments successfully reduced by 6.7% the actual number of courses scheduled during the peak usage periods. (SW) |
