(Oct 5/09) Innis hours should be extended to start at 8am. With students starting class at 8:30am, it allows them to use the local photo-copier or any business/commerce books for a short while before class starts...this is essential to obtain that last moment refresher before an exam, or print off an assignment for that 8:30am class because your printer broke the night before. Moreover, often business/econ/commerce classes suggest to students that reading the newspaper should be done everyday; in class profs often refer to newspaper articles that morning that you should have read. For those that dont get newspapers at home or dont get specific ones (i.e., how many people get the Financial Times at home??), by opening at 8am you are allowing students to further their educational horizon and get more out of the classes we are already paying too much for. Even if its a quick perusal of the papers for 15mins starting at 8am, this will make them more aware of the current issues and contribute more valuably to class. By not opening at 8am, I suggest that you are taking away from students educational experience, and hindering their growths as contributing members of the classroom and society.
