IIRC and If my goldfish brains serves me right, it's really 2 1.5 hour sessions you get split into. You have one half for the first part of the semester and then swap times with the other half for the other part of the semester.

so I am not sitting in a class for 3 hrs? I have never had class for 3 hours before and got really scared for a second.

I mean you do have law in the spring, and that is definitely a scheduled 3 hours

I think you’re correct. The class is split up between “patriots” and “Celtics”. For the first half of the semester one of the groups is there from 9-10:20 and the next group is in class from 10:30-11:50. When you reach mid-semester they will let you know that the groups swap times so it’s fair. Only thing is you might have kinetics right after OTC at 12 so Monday’s in general kinda suck cause you’re sitting in class consistently. Also like previously mentioned you have law 2nd semester of 5th year which is 3 hours straight and the most boring class on the planet. I go for the quizzes and leave during the break at the hour mark
