Block vs. Period

*In a business education classroom, is block scheduling or period scheduling better?*

As a future business education teacher, I believe that block scheduling is better for the classes we offer. Almost all of our classes are project based and can use the 90 minutes to teach and begin projects in class. It is also important that if a computer is needed to complete the assignment, we give the students time at school to finish because not everyone has access to a computer. That is why I feel block scheduling is so much better for business education. If you only had 50 minutes of class time, it would take too many days in order for students to complete long projects and cut out teaching time. However, it can work and would have to if it were your only option to have a period schedule. Therefore, I feel that block scheduling is better for business education classes.
