When the word Staff appears instead of an instructor’s name, it just means that the department has yet to assign the instructor. Section numbers that begin with 99 designate an online course. For more information about the course entries, see the Guide to UALR section of the undergraduate catalog.
The length of a standard 3 credit-hour class is defined by a University-wide administrative memorandum (#635.1 updated in 2006) as 50 minutes of instruction that will take place 45 times in a regular term. In order to meet student needs, there are variations that make up UALR scheduling options. Typically, MWF classes meet for 50 minutes while MW or TR classes meet for 75 minutes (1 hr. & 15 min.). Once a week evening classes are about 150 minutes (2 hr. & 30 min.).
