hence the reason why i would rather be watching it. my class is about systematic thinking and how it pertains to sustainable community development. CDAE 102 for all the UVMers out there.

I take lots of 3 hour classes. Last term I took tax law, that was 3 hours... this term, succession (wills and estates) and creditor's remedies (collecting money from scumbags) are my 3 hour ones. I don't mind them at all, you just need a good prof so you don't zone out.

i gotta disagree, i had atleast 1 class like that every semester and while it sucks enduring the class while your in it, there are a few great perks that i felt make it totally worth it:

1 - i signed up for these classes because they allowed me to ski 3-5 days a week
2 - teachers typically don't enjoy them anymore than you do, and i found that i was almost always let out before the 3 hours had passed
3 - yea it sucks while your sitting in them, but the feeling you get when you get out of the class and realize your done with it for a whole week is pretty awesome

just my two cents, i definitely wouldn't have been able to do my internship doing the park updates for stowe my last 2 years at UVM if it wasn't for 3 hour night classes and online courses

I have 6 three hour class a week. They are studios though, so I'm making art instead of hearing a lecture. 3 hour lectures are brutal though.

i have 3 4-hour studios a week, that routinely go too long, and I usually have to do a considerable amount of work before or after class, so sometimes it feels like a... 6-8 hour class. If not more!

I have a 3 hour block of History of Modern Europe every Tuesday night.

The kicker is that it goes from 6:30 to 9:30.

It really isn't THAT bad. It does suck sometimes if you're tired, but it frees up the rest of my schedule like you would not believe. The teacher is pretty good too.

the worst is 3 hour classes starting at 8 am. 2 hours is the perfect length for a class.
