## Caption

An hour and 15 minutes doesn’t seem like a large amount of time, until it’s a Tuesday or a Thursday. On those days, I always find myself looking up at the clock when only 30 minutes have passed and am surprised when I have over half a class period left.

It’s not that I’m any less engaged or interested in my Tuesday and Thursday courses — in fact, they’re some of my favorite contentwise. It’s simply that their duration is hard to get used to when juxtaposed with the shorter 50-minute blocks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This scheduling difference is inconvenient for a number of reasons, and it is especially frustrating because it could be easily solved by getting rid of classes on Friday.

It is definitely a college student’s choice and responsibility to focus in class. Unlike grades K-12, individuals decide to pursue university and are more accountable for the learning they achieve accordingly. This being said, the inconsistent scheduling caused by the difference in class lengths does not set students up to succeed. The daily change in course duration breaks up routines, which are shown to improve focus and reduce stress when consistent.
