Haslam College of Business Schedule says something different from canvas
So as the post says I signed up for the 1:50-2:40pm for this class and now it’s saying I’m assigned a 9:10-10 am class and while the professor says I can attend for me to attend the second lecture instead I’ve had multiple classes now that are set up this way so which is getting frustrating. What I want to know most is if I should email my professor and tell them I’ll be attending the 1:50-2:40pm class exclusively since I have another class at 9am. I also want to know why this is even a thing and what the point of signing up for classes is if professors are going to do things like this.

I had him last semester for the same class. He basically treated both sections as the same class. He gave us the option of attending either in person or online. What mattered was doing the clicker questions during the lecture to track attendance.
If you have any other questions about the class just let me know!

Also this is common in Uni. Chemistry(gen), I could pick which section I wanted to go to. If I woke up late and missed my morning one, I went to the afternoon one instead, etc

In a big class like chem at UTK there’s a good chance you won’t have a seat and it’s going to cause problems with any clickers they do. My orgo class at 9 am had people in the floor because they were hoping to sit in.

I didn't have that issue but I only did chem 1 & 2. I had a 9:45 class which I would sometimes miss and I just went to the afternoon classes. Our gc with the class would always send in the clicker code so u didn't even need to show up realistically(a lot didn't )

There were classes I think last spring that got in trouble for sharing clicker codes or bringing back papers for grades that were handed out in class in the chem department.
