Schedule adjustment days - MIS 424 is a 4 credit-hour class and should meet 200 minutes per week (equivalent to 4 sessions at 50 minutes per week).  It is currently scheduled to meet 240 minutes per week (3 session at 80 minutes each).  Therefore every two weeks it over-scheduled by 80 minutes, or one class session. The course schedule compensates for the over-scheduling by including schedule adjustment days during the quarter.
