Banner has the capability to accommodate these changes. Fifteen-minute breaks for MWF classes were passed through Governance with a reasonably close vote following extensive discussion. Faculty shared that the ten-minute break has been a problem in their MWF class.
Students arrive late and leave early in order to get to their next class.
Dr. Bambach feels that by not allowing students enough time to get from one class to another we are taking their tuition and not letting them get their education.
