She cited English majors as an example, saying, English majors predominate later classes. No one else wants to take them at that time, she said. Getting in them may not be a problem, but getting motivated for them can be, Levin said. On the whole, it s hard for students to say whether or not taking classes early in the morning is more beneficial than taking the same class later on in the day. I always do about the same in all my classes, whether it s early or late, so it doesn t make a difference, Levin said.
Professors seem to think differently.
They re a little more motivated. Regardless of the student activity, or lack thereof, in class, professors are always sure to stay on top of the game. For Parker, it means, I feel like I have to keep a student s attention no matter what. And that means the professor himself can t be sleepy. I try myself to be wide awake and energetic for class, Fichtner said.
