Recreating your schedule repeatedly because a class has only one section can become a nuisance.

The students at UTM pay more than enough money for their classes so therefore it should be required to have at least two sections of each course.

Imagine having a full schedule for the day, with barely enough time to eat, and you have to register as soon as possible. After your 8 a.m. class you, hurry to try to get that one class that is offered only once. You get to the computer to find out the class has a big “C” beside it because it is closed. This upsets students every year.

When it is time to register, you have to schedule your classes as soon as possible or you will not get the schedule that you made out for yourself. When you make out your schedule, you want the classes that you have put down.

This is a problem that creates many more problems.

Sometimes the classes that are offered at only one time are required for your major. When this happens, you have a number of people trying to schedule for the same class and only a certain number of people end up with that class. You and your schedule can be affected big time.

Students already maintain high levels of stress in college, so why add more to their pile. They have to worry about their jobs, grades and expenses for college. Most students struggle to attend college so they want to graduate as quickly as possible.

Having only one section of a class causes frustration among the students. Some students attend college trying to get an education with children of their own. This makes it harder on them also.

This is not fair to the students of UTM. It should be required to have at least two sections of each course. With all the students who attend UTM, there would be a better chance for students to get in their courses if it were required.

If there were adequate numbers of sections then students would not have to worry about each class getting full before it is time for them to sign up.

The students of UTM should not have to worry about this problem. This could easily be solved with the requirement of more sections. This would cause less stress on the students who attend this school.
