No doubt there will be scheduling conflicts with classes '''The status quo''' is not the senority system that we want have used to takedate on the wiki. Rather, it is what ever schedule Steve (or perhaps must take, and other issues that need addressing. Please address them on whomever is running the [[Talk:PHDBA279S_(Spring_2011seminar) | Discussion Page]]. If there are any outstanding issues by the first class we can address them together with Stevewould impose on us.
AgainAs always, please note that there is a priority given feel free to high years in selecting spots. Your selection is not final until those above you have chosen. It would therefore ease discuss this process greatly if on the upper years could choose as soon as possible[[Talk:PHDBA279S_(Spring_2011) | Discussion Page]].

==Schedule of Classes==
'''THIS SCHEDULE IS CURRENTLY BEING CONTESTED - PLEASE SEE BELOW'''
*Thurs 20th January -
*I don't need a slot - '''Bryan'''
==Time ConflictsProposed New Institutions== The schedule above is what happened using by senority, first-come-first-served system. This schedule seems to be socially sub-optimal (i.e. it doesn't maximize social welfare). Orie sent an email noting this and proposing a new system: I’d like to point out that we have some issues with the schedule. For example, that the 2nd years are presenting very early in the semester after having presented late in the fall, and almost everyone else is in pure rank order. After some discussion here is what I propose for norms so that the online date selection matches better what used to happen in the scheduling meeting. In general, Priority Fightseveryone should pick by seniority, but with the following conditions: '''For the Spring:''' -Job market candidates get spots only after everyone else has chosen. -Those with specific plans for orals in the spring have first priority -2nd years don’t get stuck early in the spring after presenting late in the fall. '''For the Fall:''' -3rd years (who have just completed 2nd year papers) present early -2nd years each get half a slot, and Vito Bumping People==present relatively late in the semester -Job market candidates get priority, but are encouraged to present early in the semester, especially before their OEW slots and other outside presentations. These are still subject to gaming, but I hope we would all stick to the spirit of these. I (Ed) feel that the easiest way to '''operationalize Orie's proposal''' is to change the senority order to the following:'''Fall Term'''#Job Market Candidates#Second Years as a group for a single slot#By Senority (with the third years last) '''Spring Term'''#Those taking their orals#2nd Years#By senority (except for job market candidates)#Job Market Candidates '''An alternative''' that should also work, and which still affords more seniority to rank is:*Each term is broken into a first half and a second half.*There are two rounds followed by a clearance. You may choose only once before the clearance.*In the first round senority is by program order (6th year -> 2nd year), but you may choose only from the first half of the slots (or wait until the next round).*In the second round both halfs are open and the senority is as in Ed's proposal above.
