“Passing it Down”

ALT Illustration of a warm and inviting kitchen scene featuring three generations of a Black family. A young girl with braided hair and white beads is in the center, cutting out biscuits using a tin can. Her grandmother with gray hair rolls dough in the foreground next to her. In the background, her mother tastes the macaroni and cheese, standing near a stove with a pot of greens and a pound cake visible.

Checking in to ask about course scheduling for folks who teach 3+ classes in one sem/day. How do you manage pacing? Do you do all back to back? 2, break for lunch and then the others? And how early do you start/late do you go? Pros and cons to various configurations.
