We went from a 9 period flat schedule to a rotating schedule in 2005-2006. A consultant came in to help us with the transition. I didn't become registrar until the fall of 05, so I missed the assigning of patterns for classes. We are on a 6 day 7 period rotating schedule. So, there are 8 patterns for academic classes and they all have one drop day. Because of science classes with one double period, we have some problems with class balancing and room assignments (English classes need to be scheduled in the Science building etc). We were thinking of changing the patterns, but I feel inexperienced for this task. Any suggestions like books to read, classes to take, or support people to contact?
