Duke U. Cuts 8am Classes
"Duke University is eliminating 8 a.m. classes and trying to come up with other ways help its sleep-deprived students, who too often are struggling to survive on a mix of caffeine, adrenaline, and ambition.Had a class last semester on public policy at 8:30am where I was 20 minutes late every single time.
The school is also considering new orientation programs this fall that would help freshmen understand the importance of sleep..."
I couldn't get out of the house any earlier than 8am. Thankfully, the professor didn't seem to mind, and I got a -- don't remember exactly -- high B or low A for the semester.
