Is my interpretation correct about "does class start..." and "does the class start..."?

I am going to make up two similar sentences below.

(1) The class starts at noon.

(2) Class starts at noon.

I think you could say (1) when you are talking about a specific class. Suppose that you are asking your teacher what time Chemistry starts. He says,"The class starts at noon."

I think it's grammatically wrong to say (2) because "class" is a countable noun.

I am not sure if I am making any sense. Please give me your opinion. Thanks.
