Continuity mistake: When Doc turns the time circuits on as he is about to head over to the high school, the 'Destination Time' is under 'Last Time Departed', but in the next shot, it is back to being over it like normal. It should also be noted that the month is represented by a number in the first shot, but with letters in the second.
