There shoud be a law about math class at 8 in the morning...
During my freshman year in college, CM - Comprehensive Musicianship - met Monday-Thursday from 8:00am-10:00am. It was the core class for the music majors - theory, ear training and music history all rolled into one SIX credit class.
Thankfully, the teacher I had would let students "skip" from time to time as long as they were keeping up with the course work. -And show up for the tests at the end of each week. *And since I had taken some college level music classes during high school, I skipped many a week(!) at a time - the syllabus was always followed to a "T" so I was able to see what I already knew, and what I would need to learn. -And I had a 4.1 GPA my freshman year.
He also hated having people fall asleep in his class, so he would "encourage" the sleepyheads to get up and walk around the halls for a while to wake themselves up. He was a very cool teacher. In any case...
Having to wake up at 8:00am Monday thru Thursday... And then most likely on Friday since that was the only available slot for keyboard skills...

*But sophomore year, CM took place 10:00am-Noon, Monday-Thursday.
