I have a night class populated with mostly adult learners at a local community college. Since it is a once-a-week class, its length (4 hours) is daunting. The students come to class on overload and extremely tired as many of them work a full day. We were told in the previous section about "changing a learning focus every 50 minutes." I follow that rule of thumb, but I also include a 10-minute break that comes with the change. That schedule is followed "religiously" if I could use that word. The students are surprisingly fresh at the end of class. I noticed nothing was mentioned about breaks with adult learners. Does anyone else do the same thing?
