Students often feel bored in a class that lasts an hour and 15 minutes, but the same students will also complain that they did not have time to complete a test in a 50 minute class. No matter what the situation is, there are those who will always find flaws. People must consider that Piedmont is a small school, so certain classes can only be offered at certain times and for certain lengths of time. However, for a small school, Piedmont does the best they can at this.
Most of the time, it is not the length of time that is even the issue. If a student likes the subject or finds the professor interesting, then the class will rush by in no time. But if is a less interesting subject or the professor is unable to captivate the attention of the students, then a class that lasts the same amount of time will seem to drag on forever.
As far as night classes go, many of the four hour long classes are required for certain majors. If it is a class that relates to the student's major, then it should be able to hold his or her interest.
Class length should be an important factor for students choosing their schedules. For those who know that they have trouble sitting still for hour and 15 minute classes, then it would be a good idea to take that class on days when it is 50 minutes, if possible.
