Grammar
Is this sentence gramatically corect?
I am sending an email to a professor and unsure if this sentence is gramatically correct: “On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have either one or no other class, respectively.” What I mean to say is that I have one other class on Tuesdays and no other class on Thursdays. “Other” in the sentence is used to denote a class that is not taught by the professor I am emailing, whose class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

” What I mean to say is that I have one other class on Tuesdays and no other class on Thursdays. It is unnecessarily confusing. Use this: I have one other class on Tuesdays and no other class on Thursdays.
