Hey! I'd like to quickly comment on this post from an Academics perspective.
I do definitely understand how it can be frustrating to not have as many classes scheduled at a time convenient for you. The goal of Academics is to host fun and engaging classes for the students on the server, which I think we do a pretty good job at! It is really hard to control the distribution of where professors live, and when a majority of the professors are in the U.S., it leaves the other parts of the world lacking in class experiences. This is definitely not ideal, but it is a bit hard to drastically change this in the way that would benefit players in other timezones. Applications are open for Class Helper right now, and there is no timezone requirement to apply. Players from anywhere are encouraged to apply if they meet the requirements stated on the application!
Professors are not forced to put classes on the schedule, as many of us have personal lives that change on a daily basis. This does not mean that we don't want to teach a lot, but means that we have to prioritize some things before teaching (such as family, school, etc.). As far as my own classes go, I have a few in the morning for me and one in the afternoon. These are fairly spread out with the hope that players from different places can attend! Surprise classes are also a great opportunity for professors to teach when they have plenty of time to do so! As Sunnya previously stated, Sal does teach surprise dueling classes at times more convenient for those not in the U.S.
Something else I wanted to point out was the fact that professors choose which subjects they would like to teach. Just because only one professor has the "Dueling Professor" prefix, does not mean that they are the only one that teaches it. I know that Sal enjoys hosting dueling, and teaches it quite frequently. Paul also has a scheduled dueling class. I have taught dueling many times before, but enjoy other subjects much more so prefer to teach those more often! This allows the players to experience all sorts of classes, and gives them a chance to maybe find another type of class or subject that they really love!
I hope that shed some light on this issue, and if you have any more questions please let me know! We really do put a lot of effort into our classes, and being able to teach at times that we can choose is really crucial to the consistent output of classes on the server.
I hope you all have a good day!
