ECS Room Characteristics
During ECS period 1 it is important to not only update a course section's meeting pattern and instructor but also the room characteristics.
Tips for getting the right classrooms
- Check with the instructor to verify the appropriate room characteristics;
- Don't request room characteristics that conflict with each other (e.g., Active Learning Classrooms and Tablet Arm Chairs or West Bank and East Bank). Search for classroom features if you have questions about potential room characteristic conflicts;
- When choosing room characteristics, for example, West Bank, Tablet Arm Chairs, Document Camera. You are saying the course section needs a classroom on West Bank and Tablet Arm Chairs and a Document Camera;
- Choosing multiple room characteristics limits the number of available classrooms;
- Maximum of four room characteristics can be chosen
