Just listing off the course schedules that I've had:
4 x 50min
2 x 1hr 50min
2 x 1hr 25min (Peace and Conflict Studies [PCCN])
1 x 2hr 50min (Philosophy in the evening)
1 x 3hr 25min (English in the evening)
3 x 1hr 50min (Two lectures, one lab)
2 x 1hr 50min; 1 x 50 min (One of the lectures is 50min, the other lecture and lab are 1hr 50min)
The 1hr 50min blocks may seem to drag along at times, but I prefer them to the 50min blocks. 50min often means material needs to be crammed in. It was tough in English when we had an in-class essay and the prof sometimes took up 20 minutes at the start of the lesson talking, leaving us rushing and the prof keeping us in late so we got the full 45min. Unfortunately I had a class right after English, so I'd have to rush to finish. In political science, sometimes we would get into heated discussion, only to realize we'd taken up majority of the class time.
It's all in the instructor's control, though.
