Piedmont Class Schedules

Class schedules at Piedmont College, like any other college, are carefully planned to accommodate students and facilitate their routines. Although most class hours are comfortable to the majority of students, the length of some class hours are too stressful and don’t allow enjoyable sessions to neither students nor teachers.

The shortest class hours are usually proposed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedules, with 50 minutes per class. This particular class length is sufficient to allow teacher to present their lesson, and to keep student’s attention alert until the end of the course. Classes proposed on Tuesday and Thursday usually last 75 minutes, yet they are still tolerable.

Students attending afternoon and night classes are the ones who suffer the Piedmont class schedule the most. Usually after 5 p.m. classes range from 2 hours to nearly 5 hours. Trying to concentrate a 16 week course in a single day per week is understandable, and in many cases is accommodating to students with jobs or family, yet the length of the class is too stressful for anyone to bear. Most of the times students leave before the end of class, demonstrating that after all, such long classes are useless if students don’t stay until the end.

Students can't keep their attention alive for more than 4 hours, and teachers can be just as drained out. Although it could cause discomfort to some students, night classes should be split to at least two days a week, permitting students and teachers to attend sessions with more energy.
