Too long or not long enough

Are classes at Piedmont really working for all of the students or can they be better?  I don't think that a 50 min class is quite long enough.  I came from a high school with block scheduling and the classes were longer at high school than they are here.  A 50 min class is more like a tease than a real class.  You are in the room just long enough for the teacher to go over the assignment from the night before and then the assignment for the coming night and that's the class.  In my mind college classes were supposed to be more about learning and bouncing ideas off of other people and learning from your professors experiences and not just about at home do it yourself work.  In my opinion it would be more helpful to have longer classes less days a week.  Tuesday and Thursday classes are 1 hr and 15 min long and I think this is a more appropriate length for a class.  If Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes changed to only meet on Monday and Wednesday for an hour and 15 min than I think that not only would we learn more but we would have time to really interact in our classes.  Not only that but it would probably cut down on people cutting classes.  Right now my smallest classes all happen on Fridays, if people are going to skip that seems to be the day to do it.  I really think that this would be a much better schedule for the classes and would help the students learn and retain more information rather than trying to figure it out on our own in our rooms.
