I talked to the physics instructor who has the room after us. He talked to his class and found that there are too many conflicts for him to give us any of his time. So we seem to be left with these options.

1. No change.

2. Start early MF, about 8:35, and drop the Wednesday session. (If some of you have to arrive somewhat late because of child transportation issues, we can be flexible about that.)

3. Start very early, say 7:20, on one of the three days and drop the other two days.

4. Find a time to meet on Saturday or Sunday and drop all three currently scheduled sessions. We would meet for 2 1/2 clock hours, which is equal to 3 fifty-minute credit hours.

I'm open to whatever we can all agree on. Please reply with your thoughts. We can talk about it Wednesday if something looks promising. 

One thing to keep in mind: Since much of the lecture material is on video from the Santa Fe Institute, class time will be mainly working on projects/models. I specifically asked for a room with flexible seating so that groups working together can move their seats together. The bulk of the work for the class will involve writing and running NetLogo models and explaining what you did.

Until we make a change, we'll meet at the scheduled times.

I am happy with option 2, but can we also consider M&W rather than M&F? 

Early start on any day works for me.

Same with MW or MF.

Saturday anytime after 11:30 am.

Sunday anytime.

I would prefer not to have to come in on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and especially not in the middle of the day, as I committed to an internship for two days per week. (And freeing up the MWF mornings doesn't give me an alternate work day, as I have full class schedule on those days.)

I can't do any of the M/W/F options because I have class commitments right before and after our scheduled time.

I vote for doing a 2 1/2 hr session on Saturday.
