[] As long as various methods of dealing with course conflicts are being discussed - here's one. At the University of Waterloo (math faculty), they group a bunch of profs together and stick them in a room (called "Mathstart"). The student is supposed to look up the master timetable and find a way to juggle his/her timeslots to resolve the conflict. The student then goes up to Mathstart and gets a signature, and hence the class. I realize that this does not help the student with an unresolvable conflict. Neither does it involve any preventive maintenance to stave off the conflicts in the first place. But at least it's better than running your ass off around a big campus. -- Time to get back to net.apathy... Paul R. Bonneau (decvax|watmath|utzoo}!hcrvax!paulb
