Back in my grad school days at Wichita State and Mizzou,some of my colleagues were of the opinion that grad students should schedule comprehensives,theses and dissertation defenses on Fridays because committee members were most likely to be in a hurry to go home .One grad told me that his oral comprehensives and dissertation lasted less than fifteen minutes.He scheduled both on Fridays before major holidays. I have heard other tales such as scheduling in the late afternoons but never on Mondays or early morning. So is there a Friday effect? Maybe some Tipsters can post their experiences. And Paul and Mike P,please no ad hominem attacks
