 Exams conflict with night classes I read with disappointment that the Monday Night Exam issue passed the University Senate. There is little or no known enforcement of the current policies that would prevent the need for Monday night exams. Adding Monday night exams only helps to hide the issue of no stringent exam policy and an overabundance of night exams in the first place. Five years from now, will we be asked to take Sunday night exams too? Monday nights have been the most common night for night classes. In my minor there are Monday night sections of many of the classes. There are night classes each day of the week, but Monday nights have been specifically for night sections. What is a student to do now that they have a test scheduled during a regular class session? Monday nights have also been a typical meeting time for student organizations. There are several large schools that do not allow night exams at all and many others that have a couple hours out of the week blocked for student organizations and professor help hours. Does Purdue really have such a high need for legitimate evening exams that we must have Monday exams? Furthermore, what consideration is being given for the classes that meet during Monday nights? I’ve read that the bands and music courses already have to deal with overly zealous professors who think that their courses are more important than any others and that the noise from band courses is distracting. When should these classes meet so as not to "distract" others if we’re taking away the Monday night option? There are many issues surrounding night exams that have yet to be answered, and it is unfortunate that the Senate has hastily decided to add night exams before each of these questions have been addressed.
