What is the six-day cycle?
You are probably already aware we operate on a six-day cycle rather than a M/W/F or Tu/Th system. Most classes meet on either an odd (1-3-5) or an even (2-4-6) schedule; labs generally meet one day of the six-day cycle. For example, if you are teaching a class on an odd cycle and the semester starts on a Tuesday, then you meet that class on Tuesday and Thursday the first week and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the next. The beauty of the system is when there is a holiday in the schedule, we simply skip it and pick up the count. The back of the Class Schedule (see above) has a calendar that pairs cycle days with days of the week.
